6.5.2 Doesn't Remember Script Editor Location

[Ray]

Mark,

Wonderful suggestion - thanks.  Could you please point me to a 
lesson/steps or something which would help me write a backscript in a 
plugin and have it open automatically?  I've never done this before and 
would love to get a little experience in it.

Thanks,

Ray
