Hello, i understand that my post was not clear and complete, hm. What
i want to do is to scroll fisically to one desired paragraph of the
front document of application "Script Editor" by typing in the
specific paragraph in my script dialog .
i'll show you the code:

--Paragaph JUMPER

tell application "Script Editor"
set ask_para to the text returned of (display dialog "Jump to
paragraph " default answer "12")
--or 0.5= middle of the document (for later)to calculate in %
set cc to count paragraphs of document 2
set y to contents of (paragraph 12 of document 2 as text)
-- added whitespaces does not cause the jump to the desired
paragraph. Sob
end tell

Why would you want to do that?

Hello,
i'll try to explain:
if i'm on top or elsewhere in my script -document, perhaps 100
paragraphs long, and i'll go back 30 paragraphs or more (up or down,
its the same) for controlling variables and so forth, then turns it
util to me to jump, fisically speaking- also to scroll- to the desired
paragraph using a script instead doing it manually.

It happens relatively often that i would go to a specific paragraph,
and scrolling to the right paragraph is really annoying, because too
imprecise. A script can do it for me, faster and better, the "Jump".
Any ideas how to solve this dilemma?

Thats'it, Michelle. I've never used this panels, because 4 years ago
(where i've bought my fist Mac) there was still no reason for me to
using this pane panel.
(Handler are a flexibility where i've learnd in a second moment)
thanks to Roger for the support too.Cheers!

Most of my scripts are chunked into subroutines (called "handlers" in
AppleScript terminology). So it's rare for me to create huge, sprawling
blocks of code that span many pages. When I need to find something, it's
usually easiest just to jump to the particular handler that contains the
code I'm looking for. So I just search for the name of the handler
handler in question, which scrolls to it.

Yep - I use that as well.
