I guess the confusing part is that the Apply button is dim and unavailable
(as well as the Revert) , so it appears as though the script has already
been applied.  In order to have the button be a trap-mouse-up button, you
need to type something in the script, even if it is a single space, then you
can click the Apply button.

Now that I know, I know.

Thanks for the clarification to those who chimed in :-)
