I agree with Mark. To answer the question, one can open routines
in the IDLDE fairly easily, and compile them because they are in the
DE. When people send me code, I don't put it in my path, and usually
run it in the IDLDE from another folder.

Again I agree. If you think of what one is doing when they have
multiple routines in a file, it is an attempt at hiding code from other
modules. What you really want to be doing is object programming,
and making methods/routines (i.e. Tom) that are hidden from everything
except
the Fred class.
