Can > this behavior be captured in Leo's code that executes the script? sys.path.insert(0,c.frame.openDirectory) occurs in .../leo/core/LeoPyRef.leo#Code-->Core classes-->@file leoCommands.py-->class Commands-->c.Command handlers...-->Edit Menu...-->Edit top level-->c.executeScript & helpers so presumably sys.path.insert(0, '.') could go there as well. There's a finally: clause not long after that that deletes sys.path[0], that would need to remove '.' as well (at least to stop sys.path growing all the time). Deleting sys.path[0] assumes the script didn't mess with sys.path, maybe it would be better to copy / restore it. Anyway, this is core enough for me to want Edward to weigh in - you reading this, Edward?
