I've heard of First Draft and Sophocles (that spelled right?), but I was wandering what's better. Also, where could I find them and about how much do they usually cos?
Sophocles is freeware but I think only partially enabled unless you purchase the full version which I believe is $119? It's been awhile since I checked. Didn't like it too much, but check it out for yourself, see what you think.
Not familiar with First Draft. Final Draft 6 I think is roughly around the same price. $139 or so? I like Final Draft quite a bit and it's pretty much an industry standard software.
NOTE TO SOPHOCLES PEOPLE: Hi. My name is Alan Holman, and I use an illegal copy of the full version of your program; I found it somewhere on the net that I can not recall exactly where I found it. I love your program SOPHOCLES very much, and it has helped me to become the writer I am today. The second one of my scripts gets purchased for over five-hundred dollars, I will gladly pay you two hundred dollars for the copy of SOPHOCLES which I use currently.
Same here. I have the full working version of SOPHOCLES and it's fantastic. Only problem is, I'm sitting on a wealth of incredible screenplays I have wrote using it... and I can't upload any of them to this sight.
Anyway, trust me SOPHOCLES is the best... hands down. It just is. Simple, easy, clean, laid out and a breeze to use.

I use Movie Magic Screenwriter, as no-one else does maybe that hints at how bad my scripts are...oh...
I use Movie Magic Screenwriter too and it is sooo easy to use. I think people should check it out if they haven't done so already. Have a look at the URL for more info. http://www.screenwriterstore.co.uk/index.taf?_p=PRD10006
I use Sophocles. I managed to buy it when it was on special for $60. I don't have a problem uploading from it. I just use print preview and export it as a html, rtf or pdf file. It rocks. I haven't really tried the others, mainly because they are out of my price range (I live in a country where the dollar is seven times my own currency - I ain't that rich *grin*)
