Tim,
I've tried various other ways to try and force that error msg to appear.
Just couldn't get it to happen.
Your explanation for your case is probably right.
Re top posting, I don't know. I've seen this discussion on other lists, and
after everybody has had their say - they all go back to whatever they were
doing in the first place.
Personally, I prefer top posting.

Hi Pat,
Thanks for your kind attempt to help.
No, those are not the circumstances. That's why it seemed inexplicable.
The circumstances you describe would make sense to me.
I might have found the source of the problem, though.
There was a handler in this bg left over from Hypercard:
On closefield
put me into me
pass closeField
end closefield
This might seem insane, but it worked great in HC. The purpose? I often
paste text from other sources into fields in this bg. I want the pasted
text to lose its original attributes and take on those assigned to text in
the field I am pasting into.
I have a hunch Rev choked on this one. Maybe because the script editor is
another stack. I suppose the script editor is in the hierarchy when I'm
editing a script. Or something...
I commented out this handler, and a couple of other suspicious ones, but
this is the prime candidate. No problems since then. I'm keeping my
fingers crossed.
Any thoughts?
Best regards,
Tim
BTW -- Is it okay to top post on this list? Or does anyone care? I just
want to follow the rules.
Tim,
The only time I have seen this msg is if the stack has been closed and
removed from memory, but the script editor for the object is still open
and I have tried to make changes.
Is that when the msg occurs for you, or does it happen under different
circumstances?

Subject: the object you are editing... Huh?
At unpredictable times, when trying to edit a script -- the script of a
card field at the moment -- I get an error message I can't understand.
I'm doing all the logical obvious things that a moderately competent
novice would do, before and after encountering this error message. They
aren't working.
The message:
"The object you are editing appears to have been removed or deleted. Do
you want to copy the text you are editing to the clipboard before closing
this script?" The two response buttons in the error dialog box are "copy
and close" and "close"
--What am I doing wrong?
--What is the significance of this error message? It must occur for a
good reason, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks to all those who have generously offered assistance in the past
week or two.
Cheers,
Tim
