+import sys, os, fontforge
+sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.environ['HOME'], 'src/pysilfont/scripts'))
+import samples.demoFunctions # Loads demoFunctions.py module from src/pysilfont/scripts/samples
+reload (samples.demoFunctions) # Reload the demo module each time you execute the script to pick up any recent edits
+samples.demoFunctions.callFunctions("Colour Glyphs",fontforge.activeFont())
+
+'''Demo usage:
+Open the "Execute Script" dialog (from the FontForge File menu or press ctrl+.),
+paste just the code section this (from "import..." to "samples...") into there then
+run it (Alt+o) and see how it pops up a dialogue with a choice of 3 functions to run.
+Edit demoFunctions.py and alter one of the functions.
+Execute the script again and see that that the function's behaviour has changed.
+
+Additional functions can be added to demoFunctions.py and, if also defined functionList() 
+become availably immdiately.
+
+If you want to see the output from print statements, or use commands like input, (eg
+for degugging purposes) then start FontForge from a terminal window rather than the 
+desktop launcher.
+
+When starting from a terminal window, you can also specify the font to use,
+eg $ fontforge /home/david/RFS/GenBasR.sfd'''
