trying to get a collection system for a Myst type game

ok I have been working on a game with a bit of a Myst feel, not important, anyway a major game play element I need is being able to collect and view notes, now my scripting isn't all that good but I have got a pack for basic page collection, however when I put the scrips int he correct locations and set it up the way it is supposed to be I still can't collect or view an object. a lot of the same questions are just "ok here is the script" ok thanks now where do I put it? am I doing something wrong? is there a different script that will be us full? or am I out of luck?

I just need a basic system to collect and view pieces of paper -_- I can do everything else but get the scrips to work. any help on what scripts to use and hwere to put them would be usfull.
