Using scripts for dummies

As we all know by now, TypeCon2006 is right around the corner. I'm busy helping with last minute preparation and found myself in need of a script to put cropmarks around oodles of images. I'm too lazy to draw them, didn't really have time to do it, so I started to look. But, then I remembered that Miguel (Sousa) had pointed us toward some very handy scripts on another thread here at Typophile. I probably saved myself about 4 hours in using this script. :^) All I had to do was drag the folder of images from the desktop directly into InDesign (all import at 100% with the frames fitting the content), move the pictures around on the page to maximize the print area, select all the images on the spread, double-click on the script, select how I want them, click apply. Magic!!!
