Well I'll be.  It sure does.

So could you use alt-c (or s) for center setting?

Using the mouse is about as fast as that typing all that.

I don't think I've ever used the E command.  Does that reload the current
model file or just redraw what's already loaded?

Can you isolate click-drag so that it wouldn't write in that case?
