Okay, I can install like a wizard and even customize, but the thought of trying to write a script is a bit daunting because of three little things...

@
$
{ and }

What do these mean/do?? I see them everywhere but nowhere are they explained. I found a book in Borders last nite that had all of the different variables and such like this listed out with what they were and did; but I bought Matt Wright's CookBook instead (argh) simply because I knew who wrote it. While I am learning from the cookbook, I still don't have these three simple things explained...

Told ya it was a stupid question... help?
