2. Right-click on a blank spot, go into New, and click New Text Document

1. Open (double-click) the new file
2. Write the code print("Hello World!") in Notepad
3. Save the file

Running a script

1. Open Roblox Studio
2. Make a new place (File -> New), or open an existing place (File -> Open)
3. Go to Tools -> Execute Script, find the file you created
4. Click "Open"

Congratulations! You just ran your first script using Execute Script!

Other information

Execute Script has the same security level as the command bar, thus making it easy to run long scripts with elevated permissions.
