Dollar Sign Variables

Craig,

For some reason I'm experiencing multiple issues with the script editor 
window.  Not only do I see the environment variables (preceded with the 
dollar sign) but the window is always popping up in odd places on my 
monitors.  It also seems kind of add that I can't save changes to this 
stack.

Can you think of any Livecode preference file (which is not getting 
uninstalled) that could be causing these problems?

Thanks,

Ray
