is there a guide somewhere that tells exactly how to set up these great scripts that are posted. I recently started looking at the posts and have no idea how to set up the script if I ever see one that I want. thanks.

That depends on how it's written. Most of the scripts or code snippets offered up by folks here come in code format, which can be directly copied and pasted somewhere. It'll look like this:

#trigger {blahblhalbha} {more blohadlkha}

If it's small, you can just paste it into the command-line and hit enter (ZMud will set things up for you, though depending on your Preference settings will sometimes mess things up). If it's an incomplete portion of code (ie, an #IF command), it's generally a good idea to jump into the Settings Editor and then paste the code wherever it needs to go. If it's really large, open up the text editor. This basically does the same things as the command-line, it's just a lot bigger.

Sometimes, though, scripts are given out in a Settings Editor-friendly format:

Pattern: This is a test
Value: #play text.wav

The above can't really be pasted into the command-line.
