You'll want to check out the editScript message first of all. The approach
I would take is to create an object with a script like

on editScript
  put the script of the target into field "Editor"
  -- or whatever you want to do
end editScript

and then use the insert command to insert that object into the front. In
this way, it will catch all attempts to edit the script, and do whatever's
in the handler. You will need to take care of setting the script yourself,
using the set command - you'll probably want to store the object's long ID
(which gets passed as a parameter to editScript) in a global, field, or
custom property.

(Please note that of course although you can change the development
environment, we do not offer support if you somehow manage to mess it up
fatally. ;-)
