How can I get it to launch the right version of Script Editor?

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.
