First, you need a server capable of (and an administrator willing to!) running ASP scripts.
Second, an ASP is a 'normal' HTML file with script (VBScript by default) embedded in
<%
%>
tags.
The simplest thing to do is to write something to the resulting HTML page:
--- [FILE SAMPLE - Can be created in a standard text editor] ---
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My First ASP Page</TITLE>
<%
Response.Write("<H1>Hello, ASP world!</H1><BR>")
Response.Write("<HR>")
%>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
--- [END SAMPLE] ---
The result will be a page which has
Hello, ASP world!
in a heading style followed by a horizontal ruler.
In order to view an ASP page as intended, you MUST access it through an URL mapped to your server - if you just bring up the file from Windows Explorer into your browser it will not show anything - it needs to go through the server to be run.
A search on the net for "ASP tutorial" should turn up some good stuff, but here's a link to start with:

I found this great for getting started.

I know you're getting hammered with "check out this site", but http://www.learnasp.com did a wonderful job getting me started with ASP. If you want a place to practice, http://www.ewebcity.com has free ASP hosting with 30 meg of space and Access 2000 database support.

Thanks for the 'ewebcity' link - it's good to see that you can now get ASP driven free sites.
