Question about a VIM script from a absolute noob

What is this script meant to do? How do I make it executable and how do i run it? I am trying to understand what the script is doing and how it is doing it... need a little advice. Here is is..
Code:
if [ -n "$user"  ]
 then
   list=`w | grep $user | cut -c19-30` 
  if [  "$list" != "" ] 
  then 
    echo "The user $user is logged
  in from $list"
    else
      echo "The user $user is not
 logged in now"
     fi
  fi
