I'm not 100% sure i get this, is this saying create a libary of functions in another directory then ref this directory using the FPATH and just make calls to the required functions?

So if i have a file functions.sh that contains:

editSQLReleaseFile()
{
clear
echo "Editing..."
sleep 112
}

Then another file (say test.sh) with FPATH set to the location of the functions.sh file i can then make a call to editSQLReleaseFile from within test.sh?

i.e. in test.sh

echo "calling editSQLReleaseFile"
editSQLReleaseFile

?
