Hi, everyone.
I may be missing something obvious here, but I would grateful if someone
could explain why the text of my new scripts keep vanishing. I compose
them and save them as usual, but when I open them again to edit them, the
text has become invisible. I have tried several different editors, but
none of them can see the text. It is still there because if I use Get
Info to check on the size of my scripts, they are much larger than an
empty script. And if I run the scripts, they work normally: I just can't
see or edit the text. The problem only affects new scripts: the text of
those that I composed months ago or that I import from other sources
still appears as expected.
This is happening on two different computers (an iMac and an iBook), one
of which is running International OS 9.0.4 and the other International OS
9.1. I don't think that the problem can be caused by an extension
conflict because it persists even when I use Conflict Catcher to start up
with only 9.0.4 All or 9.1 All enabled. It seems to have started with
scripts that I composed on another computer that uses US OS 9.1, but I
can't verify that at present because it is 5,000 miles away.
Any suggestions, please?
TIA
Peter
