Creating unrelated records

[kowhai]

Is there a way to get a script to create a record in an unrelated file? For example, pressing a button in layout #1 of File A and having an assigned script create a record in File C, which has no relationship to File A.

Yes. You need to make a script in the other file that creates a new record and does whatever else you need done. Then, in your main file create a script that executes the script in the other file. You use the "Perform Script" step and select "external script" giving the name of the other file and the name of the other script.
