But doesn't @others work (with @file) to create a separate (python) file 
from the .leo  file that I am working with? That's what I meant when I said 
"...referring to scripts written to external files". I want to avoid that - 
I think...

I confess I have done basically nothing with external files in leo, amusing 
when I originally got here via 'literate programming', tangle/weave etc., 
which I think is also where Edward started off.

Apologies if my assumptions don't match what you are describing [thinks ... 
really must try to use @file sometime, in any case].
