Hello all, I found a workaround for the time being. The problem was the Java 2013-004 update. This security update brings the Java version to 1.6.0_51 which appears to be incompatible with Terascribe. I was able to revert to the previous Java 2013-003 update which bring the version of Java back to 1.6.0_45.
If anyone runs into this, get the older update file, which is no longer on Apple's website, at http://apple-java-for-mac.en.softonic.com/mac/download and then install using Pacifist from http://www.charlessoft.com You can use the Pacifist install ability to overwrite the newer install with the older one. So you know, the Java 7 update can be installed at the same time as Java 6 and has no conflict with Terascribe in any way. There is no need to remove the Java 7 update from your Mac. I got this fix from the website of another vendor which encountered the same symptoms with their product as I was experiencing with Terascribe. Thank god for Google.
