Is there a software program that will allow one to build and test SL scripts outside of the SL client world (on a PC or Mac)? I think I've seen such software for real world coding languages (like C) and they are very easy to use and great learning tools.
Thank you.

Unfortunately not - because many of the script commands manipulate the world, you'd essentially need an entire local Second Life server to do this. There is a project to create one of these but it is not yet completed.

Take a look at this thread:
/54/16/182108/1.html

Its an external editor for scripts, and can simulate quite a bit of the functionality of the game for testing..

Yes, there is.

It is not perfect, but it is improving almost daily. Windows, not Mac (it is built on .NET).

Use it, make nice with the developer, and he will fix the problems that you have with it.
