I'm a bit lost here.  Are you talking about using ldglite to render
image files, or render interactively?  I ask because -mf and -mF
ignore all STEP commands, but only for the non-interactive image file
generating usage.  There is a -D command (that was added to a later
version of ldlite) to set the subfile level at which to ignore STEP
commands.  See Version 2.3 Release Notes here.

  http://ldlite.sourceforge.net/

I use -mF so I don't go spastic with the render window poping up and
down each time I invoke ldglite and it finishes.  This non-interactive
render ignores all steps.  I'm sure LPub has handled and removed all
the CLEAR statements in the process of creating a step DAT.  In this
scenario, I see no need to use the -D.

I cool with that.  It's a whole lot easier for me to make ldglite
behave well as a unseen simple renderer, and let LPub handle all the
tricky instruction formating macros.  The only reason I can see for
me to add internal ldglite support for all this stuff is for people
who can't, or won't use LPub.  Once the LPub source code it out there,
I can't imagine there'll be too many of them left.

I suppose it could make sense to use the -D command to also control
the subfile level at which to ignore CLEAR, and perhaps other
instruction formatting macros like ROTSTEP and such.  I'm a bit fuzzy
on how well I incorporated the -D code from ldlite into ldglite,
especially with the L3 parser.  I suppose I should test it with both
parsers and see how well it extends to the other meta commands.  I
don't think there's much actual code involved.

Don't bother doing it for me.

OK.  That was easy.
