There isn't any code. I had suggested it to Scott when we were 
discussing the revised script editor, but he never implemented it. I was 
always surprised to see it was in the menus, but I think he forgot about it.

It is supposed to set a line of commented script that you can jump to -- 
something like the Rev "set bookmark" feature, but more similar to the 
(I believe superior) way HyperCard used to do it. The commented string 
always starts with a defined word, and the menu item would just do a 
line search for a comment marker + the defined keyword, then scroll the 
script to that point.
