I tried lauching from the editor a few times with poor results. So I just
open a few windows and turn on the polling feature.

I just updated LDAO to 2.1.4.  By clicking on the Render button, I get a
window that tries to run ledit.exe. It errors and gives me a "out of memory
error" eh?, ok... in a DOS world...
I changed the render button to use L3lab. It will load the part file, but
not update it with polling turned on.

Hmm.  Which version of L3Lab do you have?  Lars had to make some changes,
so it would listen to LDAO.  I've got L3Lab 1.2.

I have version 1.2 20000616.
Do I need to add a few extra line parameters after the
%base%\l3lab.exe %model% %parm%   line?
I tried adding -pollsilent and -nocache, neither had any effect.

It seems to be rendering a "temporary" file.

Yeah, LDAO uses a couple of temporary files -- one file gets the current
DAT code, the other file has a single line, which points to the first file.
L3Lab renders the second file.

This setup allows LDAO to make changes to the viewing options (like main
color, zoom, etc) by rewriting the second temp file.

OK, I think I understand.  When I do a save, The only file that is getting
updated is the original dat file.  (I watched the directory while I saved.)

After I change the "scale" or the "viewpoint" settings, what should I do
next? save, or hit the render button again?

Btw, the "options, view settings..." crashed LDAO. "Run-time error 5,
Invalid procedure or call argument "

Let me know if I am missing something.
