The applications open because they have a dynamic library. Your script
editor has to start the application to see what's there.
I have the same problem of crashing between QuarkXpress 4.1 (with
ScriptMaster) and Scripter 2.5 sometimes - unless I start QuarkXpress first
and then Scripter.
You could save out scripts as text - maybe automatically with a script:)

I suspect this of being a 'feature' script editor. Do other editors have
