This wont compile
InputBox returns an Int indicating if the OK or Cancel button was pressed.
You dont have to assign this to a variable if you dont need the value.
InputBox ("name of book", "What is the name of the book?", sName)
Is fine as is
let iButtonPressed = InputBox ("name of book", "What is the name of the
book?", sName)
You also dont have to initialize the variable to an empty string as this
happens when you declare it in the Var statement.
Script save ()
var
string sName, Int iButtonPressed
let sName = "" ;initializes variable to empty string
let iButtonPressed = InputBox ("name of book", "What is the name of the
book?", sName)
delay (3)
TypeString (sName)
EndScript
