Very cool - I had never realized that you can use -include-
interactively, which executes a .do file in the interactive namespace --
so locals set in the interactive session are visible to it, and those
set in the do file persist after it finishes.
Not sure exactly how this would be useful, but seems like it might be in
some context...

Three ways actually, because you can also -include-
a .do file, which will excute the commands and display
the output, while retaining local macros when control
returns to the file which -include-ed it.
cheers,

Yes, there are two ways: -do- will execute the commands in the
.do file and displays the output, while -run- executes the
commands but suppresses the output. See -help do-.
Hope this helps,
