This is great timing Thomas, thank you! 
I've been away from Leo for a while, but making another attempt to get back 
into it.

I've had a _heck_ of time figuring out how to do what showed, in my case I 
wanted a 'duplicate-line' command. 
It really is tremendously difficult to figure out what to do or where to 
start. 

a couple of observations:
- what got me the furthest (but not all the way there) is/was the 
`scripts.leo` file (i.e. the 'Text' section).
- most of the scripts & guides seem to be around working with nodes (which 
seems easier) rather than body text. 
- the body text seems very challenging/manual to work with, perhaps some 
utility functions would make this easier
  - e.g. for my duplicate line command, i'll have repeat most of Thomas's 
code above, there isn't a simple utility function
  - there are already commands such as 'extend-to-line'/extendToLine, but 
do I have access to these or do i have to reproduce them?
- it would be nice to group these docs & content by context, e.g. the 
guides with the examples

Anyway, it's good to say hello again, glad to see things are still plugging.

Cheers & Happy 2023,
Kevin
