How does one, "run a script", or make it work?

I have scripts but I have no idea what to do with them, and haven't been able to find much Newbie help on the subject.

Generally, you can add the script to a object (prim) in the 'Contents' tab, and then you can touch the object and the scripts will run.

But this is a very general explanation.

SL scripts are more or less "always on", we don't really launch them. Drag a script into a prim, open the script and make sure the running box is checked, and that is usually all there is to it. Running scripts will always be inside a prim, the system isn't set up to run them standalone.

A lot of scripts are written for very specific situations. They may need to go into a prim of a certain shape, of have other items in the prim's inventory to work, or be linked some particular way. If you're using pre-written scripts that need those kinds of things, hopefully someone dropped instructions in the box too.
