How Do I Start Developing a Channel?

i know some javascript and some vbscript.

you said this is proprietary, so is there any sort of reference book or anything? i was reading through the examples but keep getting lost as there are so many code files.

can i just create one simple file with all the code in it(like a single executable file) or it doesn't work that way?

The seperate code files are there mostly to break up the sections of code to make it easier to figure out where related routines are located. So technically you could make it all a single file if you wanted. But you still need a source directory and a makefile that is outside the directory. (And as many of us learn when we screw up our first channel... graphics, especially ones that fit the right dimensions.)

The ComponentReference.pdf file mentioned above is better than many of the reference guides I've gotten when proprietary scripting languages before.
