  They get saved in a file under $HOME/bin under an appropriate name,
with appropriate comments.  Ideally, I turn them into a working
"command" I can then use as needed.  (Occasionally they get turned
into shell aliases or functions, if the mood strikes me.)

  Or I forget about them and have to re-invent the wheel next time. :)
