Paul:

   Thanks for the input.  I am glad that your SD4 download worked.  For 
the version I received, however, Applescript formatting was definitely not 
working, nor was it working for a colleague here at my place of 
employment.  I researched the issue throughly, pulling both versions of SD 
(3 and 4) up and comparing them side by side.  As a matter of fact, here's 
the description I wrote in preparation for a follow-on message to Mark 
Alldritt WRT the subject:

If I look at SD3 under "Script Debugger/Preferences" I find an item named 
"Applescript Settings."  Clicking on it, I find eight items already added 
(i.e. New text (uncompiled), Operators, etc.(+ & ,), Language Keywords, 
Application keywords, Comments, Values, Variables and subroutine names, 
and References).  By clicking on any given item, I am allowed to select 
font, font size, font style, and color.

If I activate SD4, select "Script Debugger/Preferences," I am presented a 
dialog with three categories of icons to select:  "Application," 
"Scripting Systems" and "Maintenance."  Under "Scripting Systems" I find 
"Applescript."   Clicking on it, a dialog appears with the title, 
"Applescript Formatting": And then what looks like a list box, with four 
columns labeled "Category," "Font," "Size" and "Color."  The listbox 
itself is completely blank, and I can see no button or keystroke that will 
allow me to add a category.  Clicking on the "Factory Defaults" button 
causes a small dialog box to appear with the message: 
"NSRangeException/Uncaught exception: ***-[NSCFArrayobjectAtIndex:]: index 
(1) beyond bounds (1)."

   I was in fact going to send the above text to the list this morning, 
but decided to download the SD4 upgrade first to see if it made a 
difference.  It did.  I'm now happy, and I felt like telling Mark that. 
End of story.

Trivia question:  In Robert Heinlein's Children's classic, "The Star 
Beast," Lummox was growing what as a hobby?
