Hmmm, I find it to be *most* stable. Be sure you are running 2.0.5.

There is also this free script editor, you know, "Smile" they call it :)
The AppleScript's official site used to consider it scriptable and attachable.
Check <

The OSX version should be updated during the night of this terrible day

Hope none of you was personally hit by the tragedy.
Also, hope we are living the worst tragedy of the millenium.
