why not building each time?
when using building scripts i have a [do %buidl-and-run.r quit]
at the top of of each subscript and the building script deletes that.
maybe an extension: #delete [do %buidl-and-run.r quit]?
or the editor runs the building script in the directory instead of the
actual file.
