The problem I have shown here is part of rather large task. The reason why I
prefer scripts to functions is that in scripts, I can define multiple
functions. This allows me to group related functions and put them into one
single file rather than scattering them across different files (something
like Fortran 95's modules). If I were to make all the functions in these
scripts into separate function files then my directory will be full of
files and it becomes very difficult (at least for me) to keep track of what
is going on...

OK! Thanks.
