Re: [Denemo-devel] A new idea

[Richard Shann]

I've implemented this idea. Now, if you have a script defined when you
save you are offered the chance to save it with the file. If you do then
invoking denemo with that file performs the script.
We need to think about a directory for containing examples of self
contained denemo programs (a script runs and exits denemo at the end).
