+''' This script needs to be called from one of the folders that FontForge looks in for scripts to
+run when it is started. With current versions of FontForge, one is Home/.config/fontforge/python.
+You may need to turn on showing hidden files (ctrl-H in Nautilus) before you can see the .config 
+folder.  Within there create a one-line python script, say call sampledemo.py containing a call 
+to this script, eg:
+
+execfile("/home/david/src/pysilfont/scripts/samples/demoAddToMenu.py")
+
+Due to the reload(samples.demoFunctions) line above, changes functions defined in demoFunctions.py 
+are dynamic, ie FontForge does not have to be restarted (as would be the case if the functions were
+called directly from the tools menu. Functions can even be added dynamically to the function groups.
+
+If new function groups are defined, FontForge does have to be restarted to add them to the tools menu.
