To see these in action, run a test program in *another* console.


This little tip is remarkably useful. Whether you are working on Leo code 
or your own, each time you want to test a change run a new copy of Leo and 
keep the original Leo session open.  You can designate a particular outline 
(often the workbook, the way I work) on the command line so the second Leo 
session will open faster. 

You don't need to do this for a script that doesn't change code that Leo 
uses, but otherwise test in a second session.  You will have to close it 
each time you make a correction, but you will keep your place in the code 
in the original window, which would probably open more slowly as well.

Thank you Thomas, your explanation is very, very clear. I get the point. 


I forgot to say that I run the second Leo session using a theme with a 
different color scheme from the first one.  That way I don't get mixed up 
and make a change in or close the wrong window.  You can set a specific 
theme with the --theme= command line parameter.
