John,
Thanks for your response.
I overlooked the importance of keeping the local stored copy the same
as the server. This complicates getting it done automatically. Doing
it in the context of the editor makes a lot of sense.

I've been criticized for having too many comments and too much white

This must be done very diplomatically since I'm the new kid on the

one of the founders of the company. Hence the less problematic
approach to get around the issue.

editor's scripts.
