Thanks most of this wasn't clear to me before and I still may have more questions. It seems I need to saveas each script file with the .scm extension. then I open the scheme editor by right clickingf input>keyboard on note entry then I open each file and resave. then I must add each script one at a time to a submenu. then do I add the hard-code-mode also to the menu? I was pretty sure I attached the hard code mode. I think I could just rename each file with an .scm suffix.
