The script editor in my Mac OS X is broken, it says EVERYTHING i say has a syntax error, i can type

display dialog "test"

and it will say syntax error, ive had a friend send me his folder from the applications folder and i replaced the old on, same problem, can anyone help me out? im on 10.4.6
I would really love to get this working
 
I ran "rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ScriptEditor2.plist" and it was deleted, i still hav the problem though, everything has a syntax error.
 
I never experienced the problem you posted; but have had a couple of times, very few and far between (mainly with 'Panther'), where a script (a '.scpt' file viewed in 'Script Editor') is correct but it did not execute correctly. The only way around that was either a 'Reboot' (restart), or 'Shut Down' and then turn ON, the Mac, and then create a new window and re-enter the script.

I think the 'Script Editor' of 'Tiger' is garbage - one can no longer search within the bottom panel of an application's library 'x.asdictionary' window (where 'x' is the name of the application). Nor can one set the upper portion of the '.asdictionary' window's panel to resemble that of 'Panther's 'Library' window and have it keep - for future viewing.

Instead, I still use 'Script Editor' 2.0 (of 'Panther') within 'Tiger' (MacOS X 10.4.4) - despite its potential '.scpt' file corruption.
