RE: launching Script Editor files launches associated application s

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:)
