I generally like Matt's reasoning. And with regard to the description - I have always found that text to be so flakey (I remember losing it randomly in the past) that I have long since switched to doing the "standard thing" of just adding a long comment header to the top of the script.

I grant that the fact that in some formats the Description is in the

resource fork is annoying, but that simply further supports my point, which

is that a compiled script file is often kind of a bad thing. Anyhow, loss of

the Description is nowhere near as significant as loss of the script's

content, which is, you must admit, usually the chief information the sender

wishes to convey.
