There's nothing magic about editing scripts. Whether the script is copied out of an object into a text field or into a temp file, the sequence is largely the same: an editScript message initiates the action, and a "set script" command puts the script back into the object it came from.
It may well be that the very old stsMXL plugin could use an update, but for those who like using external editors I would encourage considering it as a useful starting point for a solution that can be every bit as robust as using a text field. Voodoo need not apply; just get a script and set a script, and what happens in between can be done by any means you prefer.
If your edits were indeed put back into the objects you thought you were editing, and the stack those objects were in was indeed saved, something else went wrong.
