I am modifying the script while the C# application is running. I did
find one solution, which was similar to something Curt suggested.

foreach (KeyValuePair<string, ScriptScope> item in
ScriptDomainManager.CurrentManager.GetPublishedModules())
                        item.Value.Reload();

This reloaded the modules in the CurrentManager. I assume that once
the Hosting APIs are completed (soon hopefully!!) this will be changed
so I have an unloadable script scope which I can just recreate when I
do my calls as necessary.

Thanks
