Keep in mind that preferences are unique to the system in which the
script is being displayed. If I send one of my compiled scripts to you,
and you open it in your script editor, it will be displayed according to
your preferences settings, not according to mine.
Also, I copied a script to the clipboard; when I pasted it into two word
processing documents, the spaces were displayed in the page's background
color; the font, size, and color information was retained.
When I pasted it into a Claris Home Page document, all the color and font
information was lost, and everything was in the default font and size, in
black text.
