http://www....com/../xx.scr. Does this mean it loads down a screen saver
automatically? Can't *.scr files carry virus? Just curious. Of course, if
I were REALLY curious I would have tried it.

a .scr is nothing more than a windows executable.
yes it most definitely can (and probably does) carry a virus

ending in "....scr" cause the automatic downloading and activation of an
.scr file? I realize .scr files can carry virus, but would it activate
automatically or would I first have to do something more than simply
clicking on the URL?

With many news readers and email readers, clicking on such a link
executes the program.

Yes, .scr files can be/have virii. An .scr is similar to an .exe.
Other executable file types for Windows systems are .com ("command", a
lower level sort of executable file), .bat ("batch of DOS instructions"),
and .pif ("program information file", for "launching" an .exe or a .com
with usually passing on some specified parameters).
One problem that I have heard of with Microsoft operating systems is
that they "launch" executable files according to the type they are, even
if that does not match the type indicated by the extension part of their
names. For example, a file with the extension .pif or .scr can actually
be an .exe and executed as an .exe file.
I have even heard of risk with attached files showing extensions or
especially MIME-"wrapper" indications ("x-[type]") being forged to
something that looks more innocent, while the file is actually an .exe or
a .com and gets executed as such.
Also beware of unsolicited .zip files - those are .zip-compressed files
of any type, so you do not want your .zip decompressor to actually "open"
(which may include execute if executable) attached .zip files without your
per-file OK.
Another thing to beware of is multiple extensions, such as
goodmusic.mp3.pif - an unsolicited file along those lines is likely to be
a .pif (or actually an .exe being falsely "extension-named" as a .pif)
rather than an mp3.
