I'm not having any luck with inserting the following script into front:
on preOpenStack
put the ticks
end preOpenStack
With this inserted I get a message box opened with the ticks when I open
another stack from the desktop, but no ticks when I shift-control-S to
open the stack script (the script editor window). Evidently a script
inserted into the front doesn't get triggered when opening the script
editor. Neither does the 'start using stack' method.
Am I doing this right?

Ray,
What Björnke says. However, I would use a frontscript to catch the
preOpenStack messages, check that that target is card 1 of a script
editor and then set the loc and rect of the script editor if necessary.

Well the first stop would obviously be to read the backscript entry
of the dictionary. I have a similar setup as mark, only my stack
allows the editing of label fields when in browse mode. There's
several ways to include code in the message path, for example I use
"start using stack" instead of "backscript" or "frontscript".
A so called "plugin" is simply a stack that resides in the plugin
folder within the user extension folder of the IDE. To see where your
IDE has stored that folder, go to the Preferences, and select "FIles
& Memory" (it's at the bottom). Also check out the "development"
menu: development -> plugins -> plugin settings
Also see this lessons:

As a test, you can make a stack that reports the location of the
mouse when you click in browse mode, to do that just make a new stack
with this code in its stack script (also make sure to rename the card
accordingly):
on openstack
if the target = "card" && quote & "my own plugin" & quote then
start using this stack
end if
pass openstack
end openstack
on mouseUp
put the mouseLoc & return & the screenMouseLoc
pass mouseUp
end mouseUp
