Requirements

If you use this extension with files created by the export functionality of a Dexterity dictionary, you will need to remove the the opening and closing brackets on the first and last lines of the file as well as the double quotes that begin after the label "Script" in the header of the file and end at the bottom of the file for the extension to work. If there are string literals in your exported file, you will also need to remove the backslash before each double quote.

If you are copying\pasting the code directly from the Dexterity dictionary you will not need to make any manual changes to the file. Just be sure to use the .function or .procedure file extension for the syntax highlighting to take effect.
