[TF] loading defs

[kch at kch.n. (K. Howell)]

I have not found a way to re-load a specific /def, but the way I do it is to 
save the modified def to a separate file and then /load that file.

This can all be done with cut and paste in one block rather than editing it 
all into the input area.

When I have been testing new functions, this has been really useful. I just 
keep the file open in vi, edit my changes, :w to save the changes and then 
/load the file. Once it has been tested and working, I edit my main defs file 
and either read in the temp file, or cut and paste it.
