Hi Neal,

First off, you can try to place a couple of display dialog commands in
the script to figure out exactly where it stops.
What you also may try to do is to put the 'launch' command inside a
Finder tell block. This works with some commands such as read and
write.
Also, why are you not using the Finder to open BBEdit?
