The difference is that if you drag the <script> tile, it gets executed in
place, during the current tick. If you use "do <script>", then it gets
scheduled to execute at the next tick. For most things, it may not matter,
but if you're doing parallel reads, writes of a variable from different
scripts, it can make a big difference.
