do objects in MsgPlus! support microsoft's transitions and filters? as in

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/filter/...#Scripting_Filters

for example, applying a transition to the appearance/destruction of a window?  if so, can i get a usage example?  thanks in advance!

The scripting language in Plus! is not for making web based content. That is a whole different area of scripting. Therefore, no such things are supported because they are useless in this environment.

the bold is were you made the mistake in selecting your documentation

You need:
MSDN Home > MSDN Library > Web Development > Scripting > Microsoft Windows Script Technologies > JScript (Windows Script Technologies)

Or download the standalone chm help file from here:

i understand that that section of the MSDN is MEANT for webpages, but then so was ECMAScript I was hoping it could be activated through an activeX or etc, and used as a transition for an image or even an entire Plus! window.  if you know of a way to achieve a similar effect, such as fadeing in/out, i'd love to hear it!    thanks in advance

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.
