Well, to start with I think it only goes on IE.

Its a way for Client side scripting to interact with the server. Normally,
say to query a database, you'd have to use a server side script, say an ASP
page which returns the results into a fresh page.
With RS you could query the script through a client side script function,
which references the ASP page and returns the result back to the page, so
the user never leaves the page.

I think theres awesome potential there with DHTML which I'm just beginning
to ponder!
