(Bah, typed this up like a minute after you - hawaii - posted then walked away from the screen)
Thank you. (Though I managed to dig up the appropriate threads by now. I find lately I am right in between the people who do their own research first and ask later, and the people who ask whatever comes to mind and don't bother searching. (Namely, lately I've been doing some searching, then asking, and proceeding to search in the meantime.)
Either way though, I appreciate your helpful reply. Since it's helpful regardless of whether or not I found the same info in the meantime or not.
(For those like me who are willing-to-learn newbs:

These two threads are rather useful for figuring out the script adding thing in my opinion.)
- Edit -
I do seem to be hitting an issue with vi: when making a file for woof, I copy the text from the page I linked to in my above post, and paste in in x-term when in edit mode. I end up encountering an error where vi won't let me add any more characters. Is this supposed to happen? Is it happening on anyone else's N900?
- Edit 2 -
For the time being I copied the file to one of the FAT partitions, renamed it woof.txt, opened in the stock Notes program that came with the phone, pasted script in that way, then saved, renamed it to just woof (for aesthetic appeal for myself), and moved it where I wanted it from x-term. Vi can edit it when it's that big, just not make a file that big to begin with, apparently. *Shrug*
