Mark,
Wonderful suggestion - thanks. Could you please point me to a
lesson/steps or something which would help me write a backscript in a
plugin and have it open automatically? I've never done this before and
would love to get a little experience in it.
Thanks,
Ray

Hi Ray,
I can't really confirm this for the current version of LC, but in the
past, the script editor used to open at the bottom of the screen, with
the title bar barely visible. Every time when I opened the script
editor, I had to move it upwards. Probably, deleting the preferences
stack solved the issue temporarily, until a re-install or an update
fixed.
If you want to write a backscript, you can create a plug-in that opens
automatically. I have created a simple plug-in which disables a few
IDE features and checks that all windows are on one of my screens.
When I connect a different monitor or travel with my laptop without
secondary screen, the plug-in makes sure that all windows are visible
on one of the screens. The plug-in also kills the dreaded altKey
message sent by the dictionary.

Actually I don't know of any version for quite some time now which HAS
re-opened the script editor window where I last closed it. I work with
two monitors and I like to have the script editor window open on the
second one.
In previous versions I've edited the Revolution UI Back Script. I'd
have to do a Save As on the RevLibrary file, quit and replace the old
RevLibrary with the new one (in the ToolSet folder).
With 6.5.2 I can no longer do this as Livecode won't open at all after
replacing the RevLibrary file, even with an ever so slightly modified
copy of it.
It seems like a lot of work-around to get the script editor window to
re-open where I closed it. Shouldn't there be a simple preference
somewhere? Or shouldn't this just automatically happen?
