It would be best if you look at the docs...
/CFDOCS/Developing_Web_Applications_with_ColdFusion/20_Extending_ColdFusion_
Pages_with_CFML_Scripting/dwa20.htm
Basically, it works like so:
<CFSCRIPT>
x = 1;
y = 2;
z = (x+y)*7;
WriteOutput("The result was " & z);
</CFSCRIPT>

You can't call any cf tags. So, I can't do:
cfmail(....);
You can only call cf functions. (Although in 5.0 you can write your own
functions.)
CFSCRIPT is faster in some loops, and faster in sets. (It's what I use to
define all my application wide vars.)
