In the immortal words of Alan Greenspan, "I'm shocked, shocked" that
you should have any problem whatever with Leo's
oh-so-intuitively-obvious configuration system. In other words, I
apologize for writing such crappy software ;-)

One trick I highly recommend is to set up a very easy way to run a
smallish .leo file.  I have a script called just "e" that brings up my
~/ekr.leo file.  So I can make changes to Leo in my *big* leoPy.leo
file and test it with ekr.leo.  This saves a *lot* of time.  More
details at:

I recommend two places for introductions to Leo programming.

- Leo's Tutorial: http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/intro.html

- The quickstart.leo file, in leo/docs, does say a bit about programming.

But if you have questions, the best place to ask is right here.
