While the declaration of how a script must be wrapped in a jQuery function - (function($) { stuffHere })(jQuery); - holds true for Drupal 7, the proper way to include a script in a theme is definitely to use the theme's info file. Personally, one of the first things I do when writing a theme is to make a script.js that holds all of my custom one-off scripts (such as show/hide functionality). This method is not limited to including custom scripts; I also use this to include jQuery plugins that don't currently have Drupal equivalents.<br>

That's sort of what I figured would be the way to do it. <br>I found this page <a href="http://renaudjoubert.com/en/article/how-add-javascript-drupal-7-jquery" target="_blank">http://renaudjoubert.com/en/article/how-add-javascript-drupal-7-jquery</a> I was rather confused by this text (partial quote) <i><b>"In the present case, the next best way - a proper way - is to embed the
script directly into the Article template of the theme. In doing so, the
script will be available for all nodes created with the Article content
