If i get a script already made (downloaded or others) is it possible to decipher the steps and reproduce it step by step? if so how? or can someone translate for me?

Yes. They are not compiled.

Open it in Notepad and read what it does. It's written in Python
(http://www.python.org), which is human readable. The names of
the commands are verbose and should therefore be self-explanatory.

If you are still having trouble understanding the script contents,
find and download the Scripting API from the Corel web site and
read a little about Python.

By the way, you are accessing this newsgroup indirectly via
