Okay, I'm answering my own question...but for anyone who is as new to
scripting as I am, the Wscript.shell object should do the trick.
For e.g. The following VBScript code opens a command window, changes to
the path to C:\ , and executes the DIR command.
Dim oShell
Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
oShell.run "cmd /K CD C:\ & Dir"
Set oShell = Nothing
So I can basically run whatever I want in the command prompt, such as my
RunAsSPC command line for each individual script.
