You read my mind: I needed some script to make > the sequence editor work, but anything would be fine. I would not go that far. Sometimes I wish I could read minds. More often, I am glad that I cannot. I simply guessed correctly in this case ;-) But yes, I think it would not only be simpler, but would also avoid the head-scratching why the earlier `cp script-from-scratch script-from-scratch-orig`, and it would also make it more robust to future changes (e.g. if somebody decides to move test cases around, or introduce prereqs that skip some).
