To make a long story short ... I edited a dialog box resource, saved
it, then went through the class wizard to create a new class.
Basically step by step through that web page. It generated
NewDialog.cpp and NewDialog.h, but didn't generate stdafx.h or
script3.h . (The resource is named script3).

I googled on this, stdafx.h and the resource header file are
apparently supposed to be generated by
the class wizard,

No, that is false. Class wizard has nothing to do with it.
The New Project wizard generates the stdafx.h/stdafx.cpp files when you create a
new MFC project and select support for precompiled headers.

I wasn't able to find anybody else with the same

problem, does anybody know what might be causing this (a project
setting maybe?) or an alternate way to generate them?

I could probably use a generic stdafx.h like this

You could do so, it usually does not contain magic, although later VS versions
do put more stuff in them (like defining WINVER and _WIN32_WINNT).

You do not really need a stdafx.h file. It just speeds compilation.

And there will not be a script3.h when you create a dialog resource script3. All
resource IDs are added to the resource.h file that you include in the source
files that need it. THe class wizard will create a script3.cpp and script3.h
when you tell it to create the dialog class for this resource.
