I was tinkering with load & store a while back and found I could store a
script into an existing file, but couldn't get it to store to a new file.
I went so far as to write a mass of code to duplicate a dummy script,
change it's name, and store over it. It worked but it felt skanky so I
dropped the line of investigation... this was on 9.04
