Probably. That's why I prefer the LDS way :) Also, with LDS you don't have to create separate source files.

I guess it would look something like the LDS Shell. An editor (like LDAO Editor) to the left and a rendering window to
the right. The most important feature is the Update button. It must not only run the LDS program and update the
rendering window, but also sniff for the file Lds.err and, if it exists, let a messagebox pop up. And, before redrawing
the rendering window, the LDS file in the editor window has to be re-read (and cursor position restored). That must be
done because LDS sometimes inserts lines in the LDS source file.
Next version of LDS will probably include a HELP function.
Just type:
HELP PLOT
in the LDS file and a brief explaination + syntax help on PLOT will pop up - but where?
Into the LDS file or to another file that LDAO and LDS Shell will sniff for? If into the LDS source file, no new version
of LDS Shell will be needed, but maybe a new file would be a better solution?
