Am not using the focus node - as its an action on the graph as a whole 
(attached to ontology as per suggestion in documents) 

am using let thing =

I can try another level of wrapping - I was only able to make functions 
visible globally using *.api.ttl   - 

 if I declare the functions as dash:IncludedScript they fail to find the 
global helper functions I declared in a *.api.ttl file.   Importing this 
function set graph into the resource script graph didnt help:

threw "ReferenceError: "dgf" is not defined"   (dgf. is defined and can 
access its functions via SPARQL and script editor)

The only reference to ShapeScript I could find searching the 7.2 
documentation was

"On saving, EDG will automatically create an instance of type dash:
ShapeScript which is attached to the selected node shape. This will ensure 
that the next time the node shape is selected, the defined function is 
shown in the shape script panel."

So to attach it to the ontology to test that way I would declare

   owl:Ontology dash:ShapeScript my:action

instead of 
    owl:Ontology  dash:resourceAction my:action 

?
