I wrote this guide on the forums associated with the CS:S servers I play on. I'm just copying and pasting it here. Feel free to ask questions, and enjoy!
A.) AUTOEXEC.CFG and CONFIG.CFG
1.) Find the following folder on your hard drive:
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\(your username)\counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg
2.) Find the files named "autoexec.cfg" and "config.cfg" in that folder. We'll deal with autoexec.cfg first.
3.) If autoexec.cfg does not exist in that folder, you must create it:
-- Right-click anywhere in the folder, not on an icon
-- Click "New" on the pop-up menu
-- Select "Text Document" on the 2nd pop-up menu
-- Rename the new text document with the filename "autoexec.cfg"
4.) Open the file named "autoexec.cfg"
Note: You computer might not know what program to open the file with. In that case, right-click the file and select "Open with..." The program you want to open autoexec.cfg with is Notepad.
B.) Aliases & Binds
1.) Aliases are a method of grouping a series of commands together so that they can be executed at once by executing the alias.
2.) You create an alias by typing it on a line in the autoexec.cfg file while it is open in Notepad. The generic form is:
A specific example would be:
3.) When you string a series of commands together, you separate them with a semi-colon. No semi-colon is necessary at the end, just the quotation marks.
4.) Once an alias is entered and saved in your "autoexec.cfg" file, you can bind the alias's name to any key you want.
5.) Your key-binds are recorded in the file named "config.cfg" and you can alter your binds by editing this file in Notepad, also.
6.) Plenty of examples of the input format should already exist in this file. A few things to remember:
-- Put each bind on it's own line
-- The generic format is:
...where "KEY" is the key you're binding and "NAME" is the name of your alias.
7.) When you enter a new bind in config.cfg, carefully review your existing binds to make sure that the key you're binding isn't already bound to something else. If it is, you must either delete or overwrite that bind to avoid double-binding the key.
C.) Weapons Nicknames
1.) Below is a list of the nicknames you must use when you construct your binds. For example:
alias nade "buy nade" .... is incorrect
alias nade "buy hegrenade" .... is correct
Nickname is on the left, Description is on the right

D.) CERPIN'S UBER-L337 JUGGERNAUT BINDS, BITCH!
1.) If you want, you can copy & paste the following in your autoexec.cfg. They're my aliases.
2.) And here are the binds I use for those:
Cerpin's Uber-l337 skillz revealed:
Notice that I have a lot LESS binds than I do aliases. Due to a little trick in my scripts, I can actually double-bind two aliases to one key and use another key to decide which one I want to execute. Basically, I use the "ALT" button in a similar fashion as one uses the "SHIFT" key to type capital letters. For example:
Pressing F1 buys me an M4 or AK, but holding ALT and pressing F1 buys me an Aug or SG552.
Pressing F2 buys me Kevlar + Helmet, but holding ALT and pressing F2 buys me a Scout.
Pressing F3 buys me an HE Grenade, but holding ALT and pressing F3 buys me an AWP.
Does that make sense? I do this so that I can achieve maximum flexibility with my binds while still using exclusively the F-keys. Only a few of the weapons aren't represented in my binds -- the autosniper, the UMP, the autoshottie... Basically I can pick a custom equipment inventory every round, and prioritize when money is tight.
Though it may not look like it at first, my binds are laid out in a somewhat-logical order. I can press F1, F2, and F3 at the same time and get an M4 or an AK, full ammo, Kevlar+Helment, and an HE Grenade instantaneously. I use that most often. ALT --> Scoped rifles on F1 thru F3. SMGs/Shotty/Deagle are all on the F3 thru F5 keys (some using ALT). Flash/Defuse/Smoke/Nightvision are all on F7 and F8. They take SOME getting used to, but they're pretty easy after you get the hang of it.
Anyway, that's about it. Feel free to ask me any questions. I really want to encourage every player to use buy scripts. Very few things frustrate me more than getting blocked in spawn by another player still trying to figure out what he wants to buy.
