If “command+dot” doesn’t work, you can force-quit it by hand, or you can “kill” the process. Take a look here:
http://macscripter.net/exchange/index.php?id=P99
This will kill the Script editor :
set the_script to “ps -awwx | grep -v grep | grep Script | awk ‘{print $1}’”
set the_PID to do shell script the_script
do shell script "kill " & the_PID

This is not allways very safe… For instance, it will kill my copy of “FastScripts”
I allways prefer asking “grep” for the process’ path:
tell application "Finder" to set scriptEditorPath to application file id "ToyS" as string
set scriptEditorPath to quoted form of POSIX path of result
do shell script "ps -xww | grep -v grep | grep " & scriptEditorPath & " | awk '{print $1}'"
do shell script "kill -1 " & result
Fast scripts???
