Peter,

With sincere respect, our feelings on template(s) and what they can/should be used for are different.  I don't think either is "the" definition, and neither is "wrong".  They are just different.  Your looking from a viewpoint of what they "are", and how _you_ use them.  I'm looking at what they "could" be, as  _I_ could see using them.  Nothing wrong with either viewpoint.  Ultimately, Jon and the Parallax team will determine what they "should" be, and what way(s) they can or can't be used.

From my point of view, I wouldn't want to limit myself to just one template for a word processor.  I have different ways I want things set up for different types of documents.  I realize this is comparing apples and pork chops.

While the "include" files can bring in sub rountines, etc., they may not always have things set up for clean interaction between different sets of "gadgets" that are being interfaced.

I could also see one template for experimentation, testing and debugging a single device as part of a learning curve, with lots of variables and debug statements, and another "less robust" used for integrated development.

As I pointed out, templates are not the only way to do this, just one option that may make sense for some users, but certainly not all.

Then again, I haven't done any work with an SX yet, and may find I'm full of doodoo. :-)
