Thanks, Andy.  I kind of wished that you could pull down the edit menu,
too, at first, but it wasn't hard to get used to it.  Is there a reason
that the script editor has to be modal, or couldn't have its own internal
menus?

On a related topic, has anyone tried out Somak's script editor?  I read
a review of it in the latest MacUser, but I don't trust magazine reviews
because I don't think that the reviewers have the time to really get
intimate with a program before they have to review it.
