Ooo, a mystery bit of script! Seems legit. Let's see what happens when we run it

It must be an age thing, but when I was taught to program in Pascal we were always told to add comments detailing what we were trying to achieve with out routine. Every script, batch job and program I've written ever since has always had at least a few lines describing what will happen when run. With my advancing years and broken brain I rely on a quick scan of the notes before I run anything.
