These commands are valid immediatly prior to a line-type.
0 SET TRANSPARENCY <Number> . For setting transparency of peices.

The following allow a color to be defined and used.
0 DEF COLOR <Scheme> <index> <Red%><green%><blue%>
0 USE COLOR <Scheme> <index>

I belive this is approach taken in both povray and VRML?

The LDL 0 COLOR command already handles both of these cases.

Immediatly prior to a quad.
0 USE TEXMAP <name>

I think this would be better handled as a new command, a new linetype,
instead of a meta-command.

To use these definitions, you'll need to paste the code into the top of
your model file.  Just referencing colors.ldl like a part won't work.

Any chance of modifying LDAO to do this automatically?

Hmm.  That's an idea.

Additional this use of an LDL file for colors could be become part of a
future MPD format- Ie a sort of colour's file for the entire model!

That'd be neat, too.

How about a simple ...

0 INCLUDE <filename>

... meta-command?

That could be used in most any situation, and could be useful for other
stuff besides colors.
