Yeah, I did a Google search before posting here and found that but that's way over my head - I'm really going to need a more basic step-by-step kind of thing.
Plus it seems that that guy's script doesn't do the main thing that I need and that is removing spots and dirt. And I don't need color correction, or sharpening or anything like that - I can do all that easier with AE, so the only thing of interest from that script is the stabilization but for me that script is far too complex to be able to extract just the stabilization part from it.
