A while back I wrote an extension for the edit verb. I just tried to put
it on Wiki but I made a typo when I first put it in and I can't
straighten it out. I can't get rid of the question mark in the link.
The scriptallows one to position the cursor on a name and then press an
F-key to edit the name.
I added it to the scripts page and created a page I think is called
"Scripts/Edit". But I can't get the link to point at it.
Just as soon as I think I'm beginning to understand Wiki somethin like
this happens!

I do like your key idea of pointing to a definition and clicking to
bring up its definition for editing, and this is worth exploring

use it since the connection between the definition and the original
script is lost when an application is built. If we could track this
easily, then it would be simple to add some edit magic. Perhaps
something like:
