Furthermore, you can open the .m file with the File/Open menu directly 
in the frontend, and edit it much as a notebook. I prefer to do this 
rather than use real notebooks, because the saved .m file isn't 
cluttered with output cells. It can, however contain headings, and these 
are stored as special comments in the saved .m file.
