-This script has 3 acts. The first is a placeholder act. The above batch can be merged with this script to create jobs. In that case, the first job would launch a Chromium browser, navigate to the Acme login page, complete and submit the login form, wait for the account page to load, run the Axe tests, and then run the QualWeb tests. If the batch contained additional targets, additional jobs would be created, with the login actions for each target specified in the `private` array of the `acts` object of that target.
+A script has several properties that specify facts about the jobs to be created. They include:
+- `isolate`: You decide whether to isolate test acts, as needed, from effects of previous test acts. If `true`, the `merge` module will add a copy of the latest placeholder after each target-modifying test act before the immediately following test act.
+- `standardize`: You choose how the reports of test acts should be standardized. The alternatives are `'no'` (do not standardize), `'also'` (standardize and report both the original and the standardized results), and `'only'` (standardize and report only the standardized results).
+- `observe`: You decide how granularly Testaro will allow a server to observe job progress. If `true`, Testaro sends a message to the server to announce each test act (identifying the tool), and the `testaro` tool sends a message to the server to announce each rule when its test is performed. The server can further update the requesting client on the basis of these messages.
+- `timeStamp`: You can specify the date and time that the job is to wait for before it is performed. This specification is a string with the format `yymmddThhMM`.
+- `acts`: an array of acts.
+
+The first act in this script is a placeholder, whose `which` property is `'private'`. If the above batch were merged with this script, in each job the placeholder would be replaced with the `private` acts of a target. For example, the first act of the first job would launch a Chromium browser, navigate to the Acme login page, complete and submit the login form, wait for the account page to load, run the Axe tests, and then run the QualWeb tests. If the batch contained additional targets, additional jobs would be created, with the login actions for each target specified in the `private` array of the `acts` object of that target.
 
-As shown in this example, when a browser is launched by placeholder substitution, the script can determine the browser type (`chromium`, `firefox`, or `webkit`) by assigning a value to a `launch` property of the placeholder. That is useful, because sometimes it is the actions specified in a script that dictate which browser type is appropriate.

 ### Target list to batch
 
-If you have a target list, the `batch` module of Testilo can convert it to a batch. The batch will contain, for each target, one array of acts named `main`, containing a `launch` act (depending on the script to specify the browser type) and a `url` act.

 ### Issues to script
 
-Testilo classifies issues. The built-in issue classifications are located in the `procs/score` directory, in files whose names begin with `tic` (for “Testilo issue classification”). You can create additional `tic` files with custom issue classifications.
+Testilo classifies tool rules into _issues_. The built-in classifications are located in the `procs/score` directory, in files whose names begin with `tic` (for “Testilo issue classification”). You can create additional `tic` files with custom classifications.
+
+For example, one of the issues in the `tic38.js` file is `mainNot1`. Four rules are classified as belonging to that issue: rule `main_element_only_one` of `aslint` and 3 more rules defined by 3 other tools.
 
-If you want Testaro to test targets for particular issues, you can name those issues and use the Testilo `script` module to create a script.
