Script Object to New Window As -> Create to generate a script for the schema
.
Changing options in the Query Analyzer will allow you to modify the amount
of detail generated (Tools -> Options -> Script Tab).

purpose and does what
you want it to do. If you want to do this from code, for instance, consider
writing an app that uses
DMO. Etc.
