---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 I'd like to save my iPython workflows into worksheets. I can almost do
 this using the %save command and logging, however the use of the %edit
 command precludes this.

 Say I have defined a function using %edit and I wish to save this to a
 text file, typing %save _N (where N is the line where the %edit command
 returned) creates a blank file.

 Similarly if I log a session with %logstart, even with the output flag on,
 when I %run the saved session again in a fresh iPython window the %edit
 command is re-run (rather than the output which I originally typed being
 included).
