      Does the JavaScript have to be inside this directory for it to run on
      a Mac?




No. You can just copy js code from ESTK and assign it to the variable in script editor, placing it inside double quotes. e.g.

set myJsScript to "target indesign 
var myDoc = app.activeDocument; 
... 
... 
// end of JS code "

But be sure to use single quotes inside JS then.
e.g. var myString = 'Blah-blah-blah';
not var myString = "Blah-blah-blah";

You can even send and &#8211; if my memory serves me right &#8211; receive back parameters (aka arguments). If you are interested I can post an example or send you a script that uses this functionality.
