CompileAndExecute

Ed Lai has an interesting service in his iTools homepage. http://homepage.mac.com/lai/FileSharing.html
It's called CompileAndExecute.

From the read me:
When running KinderShell, using Script Editor is not always very suitable. Often you want to run it like a terminal, when past result are kept in the document. Smile would then be a better choice. However the last time I checked, Smile 1.8 still run in classic and not on X. So until Smile runs on X, we need a temporary solution.

CompileAndExecuteScript is a Service that is modified from the sample service program in the developer tools. It let you run your text selection as AppleScript. In other words, you sort of turn any Cocoa based text editor, such as Project builder, TextEdit, mail into a bare bone script editor.

I'll test it here in mail.app! Selecting the following line and choosing 'services, do script, applescript' puts the result on the next line.

Ed Lai rocks! Ok, so he isn't really the rocking type, but he is cool.
