  What do you mean by that? LeoCAD has been able to read/write .dat files
for years.

  I couldn't precisely position anything any other way.  It

  to use LDraw/MLCAD keyboard bindings.

  I use the keyboard exclusively too but I never thought that following the
LEdit keys was so important to other people. I'll work on that.
