Jscript etc are not ECMAscript. They might be based upon it, but that is irrelevant. It's not because a language is based upon something that it also can use everything of that original specification. What is important is the environment you're working in.

For example, if JScript could run on my calculator, it would be obvious that I couldn't use the web based DOM features. Same goes for programs which support a certain scripting engine in Windows, it's the environment of the host which dictates what can be used.

You could make an entire JScript which manipulates web pages, if you don't run that from within a browser which provides the host for DOM, that script would do nothing at all.

Plus! doesn't use any web based form of scripting, everything is done like a normal program in windows does it, via API calls etc.

To fade in/out a window you need to use Windows APIs, like AnimateWindow.
