You are using the Windows Scripting Host.

You can say things like:

WScript.Echo("Hello, World.");

It's all COM-based, so you instantiate ActiveX controls to do anything useful:

var y = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.Dictionary");
y.add ("a", "test");
if (y.Exists("a"))
   WScript.Echo("true");

Or:

var fso, f1;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
// Get a File object to query.
f1 = fso.GetFile("c:\\detlog.txt");   
// Print information.
Response.Write("File last modified: " + f1.DateLastModified);

See Windows Script Host.
