Or better, after developing and testing in notebook form a lengthy 
module that I want to convert to package form, I'd like to have a 
specific set of instructions on how to:

* Convert the notebook to a package

* Save/install the package  [To where? And how?]

* Save/preserve the notebook also [Where? And how?]

so that I can when needed, edit or modify the original notebook and 
repeat the process.

The problem is not so much "how to write a package"; it's finding, all 
in one place, the above specific instructions on how to manage it
