Dale, first, your code is a bit backward, & 2nd, as Travis points out, you're 
not saving the result to a variable. Here's how the code should look. Can u 
tell me why?

Script save ()

var
string sName

let sName = "" ;initializes variable to empty string let sName= InputBox ("name 
of book", "What is the name of the book?", sName) delay (3) TypeString (sName)

EndScript
