The scripts are ultra simple. Everywhere you had an *Alias line, I broke 
it down into a multiline script.

*Alias !SaveSetting !execute [!SetEvar %1 %2][!ReloadTEM][!xTextSaveEvar 
@$SettingsFile$@ @%1@ @%2@][!UnloadTEM]

became

*Script bang !savesetting
	*scriptexec !SetEvar %1 %2
	*sciptexec !ReloadTEM
	*sciptexec !xTextSaveEvar @$SettingsFile$@ @%1@ @%2@
	*sciptexec !UnloadTEM
*script ~bang


This is the part where everyone has a good chuckle and tells me you 
can't do this.
