And having the separate source files make it easier to insert debug alert() calls into the Javascript code to see how it works.  The detail is that you need to have one of the Static plugins working to serve the files from your root/static directory - I use the Static::Simple one because it is, umm, simple to use.

And I didn't see it mentioned, but it really was as easy as:
    script/myapp_create.pl Prototype
to create the four files under the root directory
