An excellent point, Dan. Applications like iView and Tex-Edit Plus would be
more straightforward to update if their scripts were stored elsewhere.

It's a shame that Apple didn't specify a default depository (eg, a 'Script
Menus' folder in the user and global library folders) where applications
could put their script menu folders.

The documents folder has always seemed a slightly odd place for the MS User
Data folder to me. The library folder would have seemed more appropriate,
but I guess there's no point changing it now.

Another option is to allow users to set a specified 'additional menu
scripts' folder, in the same way that Photoshop allows for an off-board
plugins folder. That would suit me.

Mr Tea
