Default Can't figure out how to load lua script...

Hi all, I copied a lua script that was posted here to use (and people seem to be using), for toggling an entire track's in-line editor, and I saved it on my Mac as a simple text document. I changed the extension to .lua and put it in the Scripts folder, but when I try to run it for the first time with ReaScript [ReaScript: Run Reascript (EEL or lua)] it's greyed out. It doesn't show up in Actions. I used text edit on the Mac and made sure that it saved as simple text, not rich text. Is there a specific type of simple text that I should be saving as? Is there something else obvious that I am simply missing?

Add to it a shortcut, open the Midi editor and use the shortcut.
This should work.

Thanks. A shortcut where...? It doesn't show up in Actions, either.

I miswrote it in the post above: I meant the inline editor on the arrange page, not from inside the MIDI editor.

I might not be understanding how to load it into Reaper, if there's a special way that needs to done...?

Never mind -- rebooted my computer and it all works as it should.
