Use Windows Scripting interactively.

ActiveScript Shell (axsh) is a command-line shell that lets you interact with JScript and COM/OLE Automation objects.
It is designed to be language agnostic, so you can use Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition or another engine.

It can be used for administrative tasks, prototyping, testing Automation components during development, experimenting, or just to learn JavaScript interactively.

ACTIVE SCRIPTING ENGINES
• The Windows Store Edition of axsh uses the Microsoft® JScript® engine, an implementation of the JavaScript (ECMA-262 3rd edition) language
• Other engines can be used by launching axsh.exe from within itself, requesting another engine as in exec(“axsh.exe /e:VBScript”);

AUTOMATION OBJECTS
• Built-in object (AXSH) lets you control the shell itself
• Majerus.Console lets you control the Windows console
• Majerus.ANSI makes it easy to work with ANSI/VT control sequences, and even generate ANSI strings from images and text
• Majerus.Text makes it easy to work with Unicode and text formatting
• axsh.fun shows how to easily write components using a scripting language, including JScript itself
• Windows includes many Automation objects that can be used right away, and many more can be installed
