Scripting Questions

Have a question about scripting.  Answer it here.  I have two questions of my own.

1.  Does the scripting page go from the first thing on the list to the bottom thing or does it do it all at once.  I'm quessing it's the first choice.

2.  Is there a maximum amount of letters for a variable?

btw they still do exist and are being used more because of computers. in the 80's they said computers would get rid of paper and pens because everythign would be saved  on a personal computer, but because we all like to print etc. we use more paper than we did without ocmputers and it has been proven:

before you bought paper in small stacks, now every office supply store carries papers byt he larger stacks, and thats my explanation on it, but ask your parents, they will agree...
