What is Rev doing?

I don't know if there's already a key/click option to edit scripts in Rev,
but at the risk of beating, flogging or otherwise maiming a dead horse, I
place the following in the stack script of almost everything I do since I
also work in MetaCard's IDE:

 on editScript?
   if the optionKey is "down" then
     edit script of the target
     exit to top
   end if
 end editScript?

In each object whose script I need to access, I add "editScript?" at the top
of a mouseUp or mouseDown handler.  This way I can edit object scripts
without switching to the pointer tool, even in palette/modal/etc windows.
When I want to disable this method of editing, I simply comment out the
handler's 4 lines in the stack script.

Other folks have created tools that allow you to do the same (I believe
Geoff Canyon's Navigator is one), but this is another option, FWIW...
