Run scripts via the Script Menu via keyboard

The instructions say:

"Download Add Front App to Menu.scpt. Open the script. This creates a folder for Script Editor in ~/Library » Scripts » Applications."

By "Open the script," I assume you mean to double-click it. However, when I do so, the script opens in Script Editor. Were some steps omitted?

Yes, you're right. I should have written 'open the script then run it'. The reason for opening it first is that I don't know if you can run a script straight from a Finder window (Quicksilver junkie speaking).
