How do I start the script console ?

How do I start the script console ? I can't find anything mentioning Alibre Script on the GUI and searching for Alibre Script or even just Script returns nothing in the help.
Running V21. I know I have used scripts before, but today I am stumped.

Go to the AddOn Manager in the Home Window and make sure it's enabled, then the Ribbon Bar for it should show up ...

Hello DWC,

take a short look into the thread

Is a specific version of Python associated with Alibre?​

Regards
Stefan

@simonb65 Thanks, but it is activated already.
@idslk In that link it shows the ribbon, does that mean it doesn't work using the normal interface?

You can start Script from the Menu bar : Script -> Launch

There isn't a Script Toolbar.

GOT IT !
I must be blind.

Not as blind as I thought.
If I open a part using Edit in separate window the script menu is missing.
Is there a reason, is there a way to have it usable in that case too ?

Open it from the main window, if you practice enough your script can operate on any file or open session that script commands exists for (i.e. parts & assemblies).
