Intercepting 'set the script..." in the IDE editor

[Dar Scott]

Hi, Dick!

That looks very promising.  I will try it.

I hope I do not have too many questions.

Why does the focusedObject have to be "Script"?  It seems there might be scenarios where the user clicks the Apply button and the field does not have the focus.

Does this bring up the dialog about the script changed outside of the editor?  I guess I can tinker with it to find out that.
