I suppose this command exists in case something goes wrong with an external 
file such that Leo can't open the outline.  I don't know if that is 
possible or not.  Suppose it's possible.  I would open a new outline, and 
try to import that external file in the hopes that I could figure out the 
problem.  I wouldn't want to keep trying with the original outline in case 
it were to get damaged.

So I agree, I would scrap this command unless we wear from others that it 
has been helpful to them.
