Anyone know anything about writing scripts? 
I need to get into a certain class. The way our system works is you can add the class if there's at least 1 out of N total seats open. It grays out if there's no seats open. Anyway, I've heard of students running "scripts" that check to see if there's an opening in a class and if there is, the script snags that opening for them... all while they're not in front of their computer!
In order to add a class, there's a logon with password, then a couple of pages before you get to the page with Add/Drop Classes.
Is there any way to have my computer check for openings in this class (in the CRN field, it's 16602, that'll show the class and if it's open)and go through the logon all the way to the Add/Drop screen and do it for me? Anyone familiar with scripts or have any resources/how to's maybe if it's even possible?
THANKS!
