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". You're right that it accomplishes little. I didn't know that that was your overall principle. I actually don't know exactly what being XPL means now. But then I gave Claude the manual and haven't read it myself! Yet. > > 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. Great.
