A plea: separate script window or resizable Info Panel

[Fraser Speirs]

Just throwing this out here to see if there's a workaround with the 
current beta.

The TextView for editing scripts is both tiny and in a non-resizable 
window.  I find it pretty hard to develop scripts in it.  The following 
trivial script is too big to be seen without scrolling:

if fill color of self is not {65535, 0, 0} then
	set fill color of self to "red"
else
	set fill color of self to "white"
end if

So, I would suggest that we need one of the following three options (in 
order of desirability):

1. A separate window within OmniGraffle for editing scripts
2. A resizable info panel
3. Some way to develop scripts in Script Editor and them copy and paste 
the finished script into the current window.  I would guess though that 
this can't be done until we have the ability to get the current 
selection from graffle.  Even so, you'd still have to change some 
things - 'tell current selection' would have to be changed to 'tell 
self' or some such....

Is there any way you can code in Script editor and paste the unchanged 
script into graffle (and have it work as well ;-)?  I can't think of it.

Thanks,
Fraser
