Here’s how to open a file with Script Debugger.

To make a new script, choose File > New. (Alternatively, there are various ways that you can make a new script targeting a particular application.)

Here’s how to set the default appearance and features of a new script.

To open an existing script, do any of the following:

• Choose File > Open.
• If you’ve recently had this script open, choose it from File > Recent Scripts.
• Drag and drop the script file onto Script Debugger’s icon in the Finder or the Dock.
• If the script’s owner is Script Debugger, double-click it in the Finder. (But that doesn’t work for an applet, since by default when an applet is opened from the Finder, it runs.)

A General preference lets you tell Script Debugger to warn you if opening an existing script might cause an application to launch.
