I am looking for a self replicating web site script. It may or may not include the following:
1) New member sign up online
2) Immediate creation of a new web site for members?
3) User name and password access

I use FrontPage 2000 (not sure if that may be an issue). Please let me know if you know of any script. Thanks in advance for your help.

You'll probably need a server side script for this, be it ASP, PHP, JSP or CGI/Perl. Unless you want to use flat files for this, you'll also need to have a database for the information.

The database would handle the new user registration: the new user comes to your site and fills in the registration form and those details get written to the database. The database would also handle the username and password storing, retrieval and authentication. Keep an eye on security and encryption of data here, especially if you are expecting people to part with sensitive information.

The creation of a web site for members is slightly ambiguous. Do you mean that the next time a user comes back to your site they see a customised site (like the amazon suggestions box, based on your buying habits this far)? Or do you want to create a mini-site for each user?

While there are many scripts available out there (ASPin.com & hotscripts.com to name just two), this is something that is better developed from the bottom up to your own needs. You can, of course, incorporate some of the free scripts that are out there, but to get to where (I think) you want to go, some custom development may be in order.
