Yo Darrell,

By LDD, do you mean LDDesign Pad or Lego Digital Designer?

If it's Lego Digital Designer, then I am still unable to get it to work on my
PC.  It loads the parts, then just sits there.  I guess I need to go figure out
what's going on in order to be able to compare it to MLCAD.  For one thing, I
would like to see how LDD defines parts.

If it's LDDP, then sure, I'll use it in class ... as soon as I find the option
to "display to the cursor".  A month ago, I posted a question on how to step
through code.  I found the LDAO option easy enough, so I stuck with it.  I do
like the color coding in LDDP a lot and would like to use it.

I can't say I can blame the authors of our collection of tools for not offering
extensive documentation.  In the 27 years I've been programming, I never really
liked writing up extensive documentation.  I'd rather dictate the stuff to a
tech writer.

Anyway, it seems to me that one way to win the L Prize is simply to write
documentation for all the tools we use.
