Script editor won't compile

I tried again, pasted the Windows 10 script into Apple’s TextEdit, copied that into the script editor, and it now works normally.

What I was doing before was:
1. Copying text from the Windows 10 LC script editor and pasting directly into the Mac LC script editor. No compile.
2. Pasting into Tex-Edit Plus and adding carriage returns using that program's tools. Then pasting into the Mac LC script editor. No compile. Interestingly, searching for specific text in the document inside of Tex-Edit Plus always came up empty. So there seems to be a problem/incompatibility with encoding Windows to Mac?

TextEdit was able to fix the text so that the Mac text editor could read it.

My various handlers don’t show on the left panel and clicking Apply doesn’t do anything. And the script definitely doesn’t do anything operational for that card.
