I have an idea about what they are, but why don't they work for me? I downloaded a Script example here from Wc3c, but I get "Expected end of line" compile errors before any script is compiled.

Do I need a plug in or other special something to make scopes work?

You need a vJass preprocessor like JassHelper, the easiest way to get that is as a part of Jass NewGen Pack.

Ah, very nice. +rep and much thanks. One more question, tho: does this affect only map making, or map playing too? What I mean is, if I make a map using these tools, will it be playable by someone who doesn't?

Yes. As noted, JassHelper is a preprocessor; it compiles vJass code into Jass code so it can be used by the regular game. NewGen pack also comes with a modified war3.exe (which unfortunately only works with a 1.21b installation of the game) but that's only for testing purposes (war3err, which is a really really useful tool), the maps can be run with regular WC3 as well.
