Stpehen,
I understand this about the script editor. What I am curious about
though is say you've written a script in VB which you want to reuse
freequently. You create a Button or use some other method to have access
to it quickly. But then I write another script as Java and place it in a
button. Will both scripts operate from their respective buttons
regardless what the script editor prefernce is or will only the script
written in the language set in the script editor run?
