how and what does the object "me" do?

I don't think VBScript has a me object. Are you perhaps asking about me in VBA?

Me is a special "object pointer" much like "this" in JScript/JavaScript. It only exists in the context of IE as far as I know.

Example:
Code: 
<html>
  <head>
    <script language="VBScript">
      Sub btnclick
        Me.value = "Clicked!"
      End Sub

      Sub window_onload
        Dim i, objBtn

        For i = 1 To 4
          Set objBtn = document.createElement("input")
          objBtn.type = "button"
          objBtn.value = "Button " & CStr(i)
          Set objBtn.onclick = GetRef("btnClick")
          document.body.appendChild objBtn
        Next
        Set objBtn = Nothing
      End Sub
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>
After the onload event handler finishes, we have a series of elements with their onclick handlers set to the subroutine btnClick. Within the event handler, Me references the source of the event that triggers it.

Hello all,

Further to dilettante's excellent demo, here is the me outside of ie context.
Code: 
filespec=wscript.scriptfullname
me.searchit filespec

sub searchit(fspec)
	wscript.echo fspec
end sub

I can also be used within a class to access the class's properties etc

Hello mrmovie,

Sure it can. It is a self referential of an object or a class.

I knew about me in the context of IE, but I never knew about the self referential class aspects. Stars all around.

Yep, an excellent catch. I had completely forgotten Me in the context of a VBScript Class.
