first paragraph under Description of StdOut

The text says, "For example, the output is redirected to the first parallel printer:"

The example is, "CScript.exe ShowGreeting.vbs > Greeting.txt"

The example command line will send output to the file Greeting.txt, not to a printer. To send it to the printer, the command line should be one of the following:

CScript.exe ShowGreeting.vbs > LPT1
CScript.exe ShowGreeting.vbs > PRN

Match Object

The 2nd edition claims to cover VBScript 5.6. However, it fails to document the Match object's SubMatches collection that was introduced in VBScript 5.5. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y27d2s18.aspx for details.

I already owned the first edition and found it very useful. I bought the second edition only because it would contain the documentation for the improved regular expression object. Needless to say I was quite disappointed.
