The high level explanation could be as follows:

1. <Test Script foldr>

2.
a. Action folders : <Action0> , <Action1>, .... <Action n>

b. Files inside the <Test script fldr>:
1. .cfg file -
This holds the run time information like addins loaded, user information, etc.

2. .prm file -
Hlds the information about the number of iterations and the parameters that are used within the script / action.

3. .usr file -
This will be generated to hold the name of the script, the object repository info, etc.

4. .lck file -
This is a lock file.

5. .mtr file -
(No idea)

6. .xls sheet -
The default sheet that holds the parameters used within the script.

7. .prm.bak file -
backup file.

8. .usp file -
Stores some RUnLogic information for the script.

9. thin_usr.dat file -
similar to the thick usr file. The diff is not clear exactly.

10. thick_usr.dat file -
Stores high level info about all the above and below files indicating what set of files was created, etc.

11. .tsp file -

3. <Action 0> folder:
This is a default folder that is created to hold the following:

a. <Snapshots> folder:
This will hold all the active screen files which are zipped, pertaining to that action.

b. Resource.mtr file -
This file holds info regarding the object rep used, the shared libraries used, and possibly maitains a track of how the script is being accessed through the code. Ie. the call chain.

c. Script.mts -
This is the script file actually.

d. .tsr -
The object rep file if used in per action mode.

e. The result file.

f. The action excel sheets.

The subsequent action folders hold similar set of files.

Hope that helps,
