<bangs head against wall> Well as usual, I found the answer to my question
on the list by myself only a couple of hours after I made this first post.
It was, of course, waiting for me in the PDB browser, under
"gimp-procedural-db-dump". I also discovered that when the browser is
launched from the Script-Fu Console, there is a neat little "Apply" button
that lets you send the procedure template back to the command line to fill
out. <bang!> Oww! Anyway, I'm going to have to write a macro for my text
editor to do this regularly; in the single day since I started browsing it,
several new procedures were added to the database. (I also need some
pointers on Script-Fu I/O procedure protocols; I had to go hunting for my
dump file since it didn't end up where I thought it would. ;))
