Script editor - non-existent changes.

[Alex Tweedly]

One of the things that has annoyed me, on and off, about the script 
editor is that it will ask me
  "Do you want to apply the changes ..... 
   [Apply]   [ Cancel]  [Don't Apply]"

even when I didn't think I had made any changes. Today, it got annoying 
enough for me to investigate (rather than just curse under my breath and 
carry on with what I was trying to do).

The revScriptEditor script contains

>   if pTheKey is among the items of "65361,65362,65363,65364,65360" then
>     -- navigation key, arrow, home, end, change selection
>     selectionChanged
>     pass rawKeyUp
>   end if

Any other key will set the "modified" flag, and force the question to be 
asked when the script editor is closed.

So it looks to me as though:
1. regardless of what the comment says, the "home" key is in the list, 
so it doesn't set the flag; the "end" key isn't, so it does set the flag
2. Even "unimportant" keys will set the flag (e.g. Ctl, Alt, etc.)

Am I missing something ?  Can ctl or alt affect the content of the script ?
is there anything different between home and end keys that would require 
this to be different ?

I can (probably will) just change it and see what happens - but there 
are too many key combinations to trust any results from simple testing, 
so if anyone has answers to these questions it might save me some time.

Thanks,
