So I'd just need to have a line offset rather than a char offset. I think I can change my conflict parser to do that... Does this support script editors in both tabbed and multi-window mode?

What would be nice is an extension of the edit script command with a chunk so the editScript handler got two parameters theObject,theChunk and then any IDE could be upgraded to handle this nicely...

edit [chunk of] the script of objectRef
