Never used a script before - want to increase scale of characters in Populate

Hello. I am trying to create a flow of people in a lobby using the Populate command. I only want two or three people at a time in the lobby. I have built a lobby to scale in 3DS max. When I create the flow of people in Populate, they appear to be about 5 cm high maximum. I have searched the help and it says that I cannot increase the size of the people via scaling, but I have to use the following script.
pop.realworldscale = 10.0
The actual example quoted 0.5, but that would make the characters even smaller? I am guessing a factor of 10 to get them to the size I need.
I have no scripting knowledge whatsoever, so my questions are:
1) Is that the entire script I need (the other samples I have seen appear to have more coding)?
2) Where do I save the Script?
3)How do I run the script to generate the renders I require?
Alternatively, if anyone has the script I need to scale my characters, donations would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks
