6.5.2 Doesn't Remember Script Editor Location

[Ray]

I'm not having any luck with inserting the following script into front:

on preOpenStack
    put the ticks
end preOpenStack

With this inserted I get a message box opened with the ticks when I open 
another stack from the desktop, but no ticks when I shift-control-S to 
open the stack script (the script editor window).  Evidently a script 
inserted into the front doesn't get triggered when opening the script 
editor.  Neither does the 'start using stack' method.

Am I doing this right?
