Have you tried changing the name of its home disk from "Dora" to "Joe" (or
maybe "Fritz" just to see what happens then)? It could be that we have a
name-sensitive Script Editor in X? :-) (I can't install OS X until my new
hard drive comes, so I'm falling back on silliness here out of envy.)

It sure does sound odd though. Double-clicked scripts are meant to open up
in the editor that made them. Is this your own script that you made in the
English-language script editor on the same hard disk partition? Or could it
be an orphaned script looking for its mother? I.e. one that either came with
the OS made who-knows-where, or from a copy of SE you don't have on that
partition. It may then look for the first available SE it can find. Or
something. Maybe if you made the script in a booted OS 9 environment and now
double-click it in Classic, it can't find its mommy. It's probably nothing
like this, but it's fun speculating.
