Great hint. The full version of BBEdit has this option, but your hint opens up the collection of editors that can be used. When I write little tools like this, I usually stash them in a personal directory, and just put an sim link to the tool in /usr/local/bin if I need to have it handy from the command line. I have not seen any good rules as to where to put stuff :).

Where to put stuff

/usr/local/bin and ~/bin are already in the PATH so these should be fine for stuff like this.

Where to put stuff - exp

Most of you will know this but if yo don't here it is.

Use /usr/local/bin for all user to be able to use.
Use /bin for the same but its not really a standard place to put thing.
Use /User/username/bin where username id the user name of the user you want to be able to run this.
