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].
Regards
Jon
