There are two main approaches:

1.  Restart Leo.  I use a script called 'e.bat' that opens a private
file (called ekr.leo).

2. If possible, you can use the so-called "stupendous aha" by creating
an @test node that exercises your code, marking it, and then using
Alt-5 (run-marked-unit-tests-externally).  This way your work flow is
edit, Alt-5, edit, Alt-5.  Note that no saves are required: Alt-5 does
this automatically for you.

This only works if you *can* run your code externally, that is, if you
aren't executing gui code.
