10 :: Is there any problem in using scripts created on v6.0 to 6.5 or higher versions?

Moving from lower to higher version should not be a problem....
This is a general statement and cannot be true at all instances.
I faced problems with scripts working in 6.5 not running in 7.0 because some of the recognition patterns used each changed. And in some situations, finally landed two paths of the script to perform same action based on version.
PS: Did not encounter any problems from 6.0 to 6.5.
