All objects are checked the same way, so apparently the script
suspends while script editor is opened and continues after it is closed.
If I remember correctly, this is because the HC script editor is a
self-contained external (a "version 2.0" external - which has some
capabilities that the MC/Rev interface lacks). Since the script editor
in MC is a stack, it can't take advantage of this. (Darn.)
Regardless of how the script editor was implemented, was it modal? It's
been a while since I've used it, but I had the impression it was
modeless, so that one could leave the window open and get back to the
stack. But if it was modeless, how does the ss handler know to suspend
activity when it opens a script editor window? And what triggers it to
resume again?
Been a long time since I used it, so I may just not be recalling it
correctly
