There was a similar thread a few days ago that involved scripting script
editor to open text files, compile and save them. May save you some time.
> The scripts tend to go really big. When the file size reaches around 400K,
script editor stops formatting the scripts. I have already modified the build
process to generate 2 scripts, but thats the most logical grouping I can do. I
cannot split the scripts further.
Yea, 400k is pretty big for an AppleScript. How big do they get? One think
you'll find is you can eke out a bit more memory for your script if you
minimize and optimize your style changes. For example, use only one font in
the script, and minimize the number of formatting changes.

Try the "Script Debugger" demo. That can open larger files than Script
Editor, but if you get much bigger than 400 k, you may hit that app's limit
as well.
