Alas, I did not know that.  After your telling me, I dug
around the http://www.leocad.org/ site and found:

   http://leocad.org/faq.htm#G4

I must have read that a long time ago and forgotten it.
Maybe a GUI tweak to specify the save format?  I don't
know.

I will tell my friend that .DAT file reading and writing
are very possible.  I will see if that changes his mind.
This should be interesting.  I'll report back what I find out.

(...) What do you mean by that? LeoCAD has been able to read/write .dat files for years. (...) 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. Leonardo (24 years ago, 14-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)
