6.5.2 Doesn't Remember Script Editor Location

[Ray]

HTH,

Thanks for these comments and suggestions.  I mainly work on Windows 8.1 
so I'm not able to comment regarding iTunes.  I'm also a little unclear 
as to how quitting effects this issue since my concern isn't that the 
script editor window re-open where I left it after I quit, but rather 
that it re-open where I left it each time I re-open it during a single 
work session.

Maybe it's remembering where you left it since you're on a Mac. I'll try 
it on my Mac today and let you know how 6.5.2 works on mine.  Meanwhile, 
let's see if anybody else has any comments on how to get the script 
editor window to re-open where you closed it each time it's opened 
during a work session.

Thanks,

Ray Horsley
