That's why I'd hesitate to use the "instructions" paradigm... I'm quite partial
to the List/line# interface of LEdit. IMHO it is intuitive and easy to
visualize. It seems to me that creating instructions sheets are the end
result... so in effect, what you are doing is to force the user into visualizing
in terms of the end result in order to create it. So you take this model and
visualize an instruction sheet for it, then enter that instruction sheet, it
sort of becomes a "desk-top publisher". I prefer the "CAD" interface, where you
visualize and input the *actual* object and then when you are done, you can
output it as a set of instructions, or a POV rendering, or whatever.
