Right now, it's in-game, because I don't have a "~/Scripts" directory  
that I can automatically save and load.

If I had those extra options in the script editor, I'd say "in ~/ 
Scripts".

It's just like maintaining software in an embedded system or  
database, the primary source is the code that's still in a place I  
can edit it, and the extra step of burning a PROM or logging into the  
database and importing some SQL code is part of the development cycle.

The next step would be to have "#include" in the LSL source that  
pulled files from the Scripts directory and preprocessed them when I  
clicked on the "Save" button.

Trying to do that kind of thing with in-game assets is just asking  
for trouble.

For actual prim building? Export the prims to XML, import them from  
XML. Don't try and implement it inside SL.
