Agents

Wasn't sure of the most appropriate list to ask this on, so I'll ask here.

are (some) scripts agents / "intelligent agents"?
are they a subclass of :Agent, like people are?
are they also web accessible?
are then some information resources agents?
are then all information resources agents?
is a hard bound book an agent?
is it the ability to receive or respond to messages that makes something 
an agent?
