Hi Sergio,
  If you can get past the fact that LSynth is an external program, I could
modify LSynth to express the connection information you need, when the synthesis
allows it.

  I prefer to try to keep all the disperate LDraw applications as homogenous as
possible, thus I try to reuse and support existing meta-command structures
wherever possible.

  That said, LPub has by far defined more new meta-commands than all the rest of
the LDraw applications put together.

  Did you know that it is standard procedure for applications that add new
meta-commands to define the meta-commands like this:

0 !<applicationName> blah

  In your case I'd recommend this:

0 !SR3D blah......

  I've changed all the LPub stuff to:

0 !LPUB blah

  LSynth is next.
