Personally, I dislike the term "code" very much. I use it in these forums because that is what most people are accustom to. You may write a code or you may write a program. I my book it's the some thing.

In my mind, it really just boils down to scope. I on a day to day basis, I write a couple lines of code, but by the end of the project, I have written a program.

The difference I see between scripts and programs is the two-fold. In my mind, scripts are small, and not compiled.

A script typically automates certain tasks like e-mailling many people or transferring many files from one place to another - something that can be done manually with your mouse and keyboard. A program however can be like a game or a web-browser etc.
