I suggest a DLL plugin system like Photoshop. MLCad could search the
directory it was executed from for files with the appropriate file
extension. These files would be loaded as DLLs. These could have handlers
for returning a name to be added to a plugin pulldown menu. Selecting the
plugin would call the dll to bring up a dialog. This could add instructions
to the current instruction list.
With this model, the system is extendable to anyone who can write a DLL with
Visual Studio.
