Hello i have a big problem with editing ScreenScript.lua.

The reason is because  ScreenScript.lua is NOT editable. When Mach fires up all the scripts, like the Screen Load script, the PLC
script, macros etc get complied and bundled into one great big script....you guessed it....... ScreenScript.lua It is compiled and that
is the code that runs.

If you want to change it you must go back to the Screen Load script or Macro or what-have-you and change it there.
