Can Visual Studio 2005 be used to debug vbscript files (.vbs)

Is there a way to use Visual Studio 2005 to debug VBScript (*.vbs) files?  When I load a vbs file into an empty project it looks like I can set break points and the syntax is color coded (though there does not seem to be any intellisense).

There was not a mention of how to debug VBScript when it is in a *.vbs file.  It talks about how to debug vbscript within a web page by connecting to a running process.  Should I somehow cause a vbs script to pause and then try to connect to the cmd.exe process?

Is the VBS part of a web page or it is a WSH which runs on windows?

It is a WSH running under Windows.
looking at
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&q=interdev+wsh
this looks good and recent:

Interdev is not part of VS 2005.
Visual Web Developer 2005 which is part of VS 2005 isn't mentioned for WSH debugging.

So it seems to me the answer for your q. is no.
