+--   # Save ripple mode to persistent ExtState
+--
+--   A most basic script that simply gets the current ripple mode, and saves it as a persistent ExtState. This state may be recalled by another script, and the ripple mode restored.
+--
+--   These two scripts are intended to be used in conjunction: as bookends to custom actions that require a programmatic change of the ripple mode.
