(3)  If you are editing the coms of a file called foo whose main function is called foo, and then you select foo and say Edit, it asks you whether you want to edit the file or the fns definition of foo.  It ought to be smart enough to notice (first) that you are already editing the files def of foo, and that if you ask to edit foo again, you mean to edit the other def (namely, fns) of foo.
