Anyways, Plus! scripting uses Jscript.
Jscript is not the same as JavaScript, but it is indeed very similar (but not the same
!!) and it will indeed help if you have some JavaScript knowledge.
To learn Plus! scripting, also see:
documentation
Can any nice person help me with the basic?(still need help)
Basics on scripts

PS: trivia, although some might say Plus! scripting is based upon JScript version 5.6, that isn't entirly correct either. The version depends on, for example, what version of Microsoft Internet Explorer you might have installad. Eg: when you have MSIE 7, you would be using Jscript 7, not Jscript 5.6!. Although you should always make your scripts entirly compatible with Jscript 5.6, as that is the least version which everybody would have who uses Messenger Plus! Live (aka who uses at least Windows XP)....
no, it isn't the same yo ;-P

Nop, nothing of that! I would love to learn, though!

IMO id say your best of trying html something slightly easier than going straight into Jscript{got it right cookie } plus it should help you understand a little bit of how Jscript wrks. a good place is w3schools they lots of tutorials on many languages, and all for free! =p

HTML is not really a programming language, and I think you should not try it. Learn JScript, it's rather simple. 
Read some documentation about it, and start by changing scripts. When you can write your own scripts, do.

Also the official MSDN documentation is VERY helpful.

You're much better off starting with a programming language as most standard ones have similar structures or a scripting language such as PHP or Perl.
