Okay. In one particular case, I have a sort of status report which is in a
fixed location in a flat text file, but it's not even clear how I can get
that. Basically, I have a module in the Extensions directory. It defines
one function. When I try to add an External method, it does find the
module, and it does find the function, but then it barfs:

Traceback (innermost last):

So I'm obviously overlooking something.
