Rich, 

Firstable, the colorizing script in MC is the fastest I've seen. It's not 
perfect
You can clear the problem in two ways.
- The blank Script editor (SE) is just a second card of the SE stack. Try 
to go back to card 1 using the left or right arrow keys. The navigation or 
mesasge stack can also help.
or
- Delete the script editor(s) in question. put the substacks of mctools 
will reveal the extra editors. Do NOT delete the script editor template 
which doesn't have a number appended to its name.

To fix the problem normally, just have some patience to wait for the 
coloring to finish. uncheck colorize script and then close all script 
editors. 

Hope that helps. You can also try my alternative script editor but it may 
take just as long to colorize the script or more because it does a much 
better job at parsing the script and comments - the price of features!. I 
haven't tested it with the new MetaCard but it works fine with 2.5.1...

Sorry for the shameless plug...

I'll test it soon ;)

cheers
