Mike-- 

Yes, you can undo all scripted actions. Because scripts operate so much faster than a user can, the number of undos builds up much faster. I'm not sure about a "number of undos" setting (because that would mean you couldn't recover the document after a crash as we do now), but I do think we should be able to purge the undo history via scripting (in some fashion other than a save/close/re-open). 

I also think that we ought to be able to turn all screen redraw off while a script operates--especially including the time ID takes to generate a preview of incoming graphics. I'd be willing to endure a much longer wait when switching back to the application to view the document--rather than having the script slow down every time I place an image. 

Anyway, we're working on it. The improved performance of scripts run from the Scripts palette is part of the effort. 

Thanks, 

Ole
