IDE Interference (not just a another rant)

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Jan,

Well put and said... 

the solution is quite simple after all...

on suspendstack
  if the topstack is not the long name of me 
  -- optional :  AND  "app/Revolution/components/" is not in the effective 
filename of the topstack then
      save this stack
  end if
  pass suspendstack
end suspendstack

--

Now, is there any way to paste script text
in the script editor WITHOUT textstyle?

--

And yet another crash... 

Am I the only one experiencing these crashes?

cheers
Xavier
