Yes, if you copy the function to scratch, move the cursor to the line
after the end of the function, you can evaluate it with C-x C-e. You can
then run the code with M-x totd <ret> or M-: (totd) <ret>.
Note that you should probably change the 'n' values in the concat
strings to '\n' to get properly formatted output.
HTH,
Tyler
