Q: Script Editor on El Capitan giving me unfixable, recurrent spinning ball

Context:  updated El Capitan, recent MacBook Pro with 16 GB RAM, Script Editor 2.8.1 application:

 

I had several scripts and Preview.sdef open and had been working for a few hours, including saving scripts, without incident and tried to save my work on a new script and encountered the spinning ball.  This happens occasionally, requring Force Quit.  So I Force quit.  Try to reopen script editor: immediate spinning ball.  Restart computer.  Try to reopen script editor:  spinning ball again. 

 

i.e., I am not unable to open Script Editor.

 

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot appreciated--
