A script can display its event log in a separate window, instead of the event log pane in the script window.

To display the event log window:

• Choose Script > Show Event Log in Window.

A script’s event log window has these features:

• Its content is the same as the event log pane.

• It is tied to the script:

  • If the script is saved, the size and configuration of its event log window is saved.

  • If the script is closed, its event log window is closed.

  • The script can be saved when the event log window is frontmost. The event log window’s “dirty” status (the Close button) is the same as the script’s “dirty” status.

  • The event log window’s status bar matches the script’s status bar.

  • The execution of the script (including debug mode stepping and tracing) can be controlled from the event log window. Commands such as Script > Compile and Script > Execute work when an event log window is frontmost, and buttons for them appear in the toolbar, as does the timer.

  In this way, you can work in the event log window and concentrate your attention on it, while running or debugging the script.
