I agree, but in the short term, I think seperate files may be simpler.

That's a great idea!  Though, and I might be confused here, wouldn't it
be possible to just create a stud.lcd file, and as the stud.dat file in
included, the lcd info would automagically be there?

I thought so too, but the format document (way at the bottom) implies
that this might be undesirable.  I'm not sure I understand why, though : (

(...) I do indeed think it would be undesirable. As we all know Stud.dat gets used every ware. There are a fair few instances were the clicking behaviours of two bricks would be different even though they are both referencing the same stud.dat file (...)
