GyuGyi shouldn't have chosen -P, as Windows uses -p,-P,/p,/P for printing
e.g. when you drag a DAT file to the printer.
L3Lab doesn't support printing (I know I forgot to turn the menus off :-)
so I *could* use the -P option, but I would like to leave that open.
Steve, can you launch L3Lab like "L3Lab -poll <file>" in stead (or is the -P
hardcoded). Then I will make a -poll option.

Just turn off "Cache subfiles" in the File menu!
Loading the model then takes a bit longer as all subfiles will be loaded again.
Perhaps I should make another commandline option for this, -nocache?
