Set the script of... not working ???

[David Bovill]

That could not be the problem, because:

       put the number of chars of someScript
       set the script of scriptObject to empty  -- exit here!
       put someScript

The script could not be set to empty? Also I gave up trying to figure
may way round this and instead used the same scripts to set the text
of a field in the script editor - only compiling the script at the
very end.

It makes no sense - as the script editor clearly must be able to set
the script - but good to know there is no known bug here. All very
strange! But thanks for the advice.
