I'm still confused as to how to use these conditional lines.

To help illustrate my (probably flawed) understanding,
I'll be referencing the enclosed DAT file (an unofficial primitive
I'm making for a CONE with an inner radius of ONE;
it corresponds to the primitive "RING1.DAT").

It sounds like you've got the basic idea of the conditional line command.  Like
Jacob said, use either the points related to point 1 or point 2.

In your example, write either:

5 24  0 0 1  0 1 2  -0.3827 0 0.9239  0.3827 0 0.9239

or

5 24  0 0 1  0 1  2  -0.7654 1 1.8478  0.7654 1 1.8478


Side question: can you use the existing primitive 1-4con1.dat instead of
developing a new primitive?
