It is a way of simplifying your code, and very useful in large scripts.
For example:

(please note, these examples are snippets of code and will not work by themselves in an editor)

with objSomething
     .FirstName = “Jerry”
     .LastName = “Lees”
     .URL = “http://www.gamersigs.net”
     .XBoxLiveTag = “CrashSerious”
     .Email = “Not-a-chance-spammers”
End with

This would be equivalent to the following standard code:

     objSomething.FirstName = “Jerry”
     objSomething.LastName = “Lees”
     objSomething.URL = “http://www.gamersigs.net”
     objSomething.XBoxLiveTag = “JLees”
     objSomething.Email = “Not-a-chance-spammers”
