Didn't copy them into guide files in the current directory?  Seems to
work just as well for file commands, if not edit commands (which just
need copied back).

I put "Dump /where/ever/dumps/go" in the top tagline and highlight it,
works well enough for me.

I can definitely attest to this principle in my own work.  In terms of
apprentice/journeyman/master for a particular program: the apprentices
write a lot of code, most of which is thrown away to get to a few good
ideas; the journeymen refine ideas into something worthy of a patch,
and may own a subsystem; and the master vets all code for
architectural coherence.  These roles vary by code base: I'm
apprentice of Plan 9, master of a 10-year-old build system.  I can
transfer some knowledge and skills, but still need to learn the
conventions and architecture before suggesting any dramatic (indeed,
noticeable) change.
