This would be a script-breaking, setup-breaking design change -- and to what end? To make the
commands even longer and more complex? I don't see the value-added. XyScript commands are
essentially programming keywords. Do you know of any programming language that allows keywords to
contain spaces? I don't. And vDOS-style .ini-file syntax for settings would violate the cardinal
principle that "It's all XPL".

At this relatively late date, I'm open to requests for features, not changes in basic design. As I
said before, I'm close to releasing the source code, at which time you'll be free to reshape the
program to your heart's content.
