I never think of this because I use Alpha, not BBEdit.

Truth be told, I've never actually figured out the mechanism by which MPW
uses tools. Most of the time I invoke perl, or whatever, and that's it.
But from time to time, always on memory-intensive jobs, ToolServer kicks
in independently, and sticks around. This is all in MPW - can't remember
the last time I used the app. :-)
