Scripts help you do a job the same way every time. They carry out
simple steps, like changing the printing orientation for envelopes, or
complex tasks, like preparing a large mailing.
You can perform additional scripts, called subscripts, within a script.
Subscripts make it easy to break a complex task into small tasks. For
example, you can find customers with a balance due with one script, and
then print form letters requesting payment with another script. The first
script contains a command that performs the second script (the subscript).
If a subscript is in a different file, it’s called an external script.
