What do you want in a text-based simple scripter?

Hello,

I am creating an application called "Scriptation", where you can write .scp files and open them using the Scriptation Reader. The only ability I have gotten so far is the "print(text)" code to work. I plan on letting you:
Declare variables
Take input

Be warned, this is in NO WAY meant to be ANYTHING close to a language, just a simple little app that is meant to joy you if you are bored. But, what would you like to see? There will be no way to have a GUI, just text. Like this is an example of what would happen if you type in the Scripter "print(Bob)" newline "print(Hill)"

Bob
Hill

So, what would you like to see?

What does a 'script' means in here? I don't understand... Is it a program in which we can prepare dialogues?

VBScript and JavaScript are considered scripting languages. They use text-based instructions to perform tasks.

Was that directed to me or Usman? Because this will have the abilities to:
"set var(varname, value)"
"get var(varname)"
"print(textorvarname)"
It isn't going to be any good, just something to strengthen my knowledge in VB. cooll;
