Help needed on Mass user creation using shell script

Hi guys,
Im currently using Suse Linux 9.0 and is trying to program a script that will create multiple user accounts automatically with encrypted passwords. An example account would be
Login name: user00
password: pass00
UID: 500
GID: 1000
Home dir: /home/user00
Shell: /bin/sh

I need to create 100 of such user accounts automatically.Can this be done?How do i go about scripting this?Sorry im new to linux and is currently learning the ropes but was assigned this difficult task. Any help would be appreciated. THX!
