It was Revolution, early on, maybe version 1. If I remember right it was 
in the first Rev script editor.

The team didn't really just yank it out, they first asked how many 
people used it. Not many did and it was difficult to maintain, so it was 
dropped. The theory was that you could concentrate on a few lines at a 
time without being distracted by the rest of the script, so it would 
display just the "mouseup" handler in its own window, or just your 
custom function. But most people prefered to see the handler in context 
so it didn't get much use.

In preferences, you can set a whole script to open in a new window, but 
no longer each individual handler.
