where you have anything to worry about.
One could worry about the users becoming sufficiently experienced to use an
Apple event sniffer. Or having friends who are. It would show the events
the script sends (and replies it gets). It would probably also show some
of the internal-to-AppleScript operations.
And yes...the edit button is missing when one has an error in a run-only
Mac OS X Applet built by Script Editor. And probably everywhere else.
