I've been doing some detailed programming in ARexx for Modeler, making
a function or two I hope to be able to share with everyone.  I'm a
little dissapointed in the limited features of some of the functions I
have tested.

For example:
When using User Mode, the point transform functions don't recognize
all points that are selected in (multiple layers), it only finds the
selected points in the lowest numbered layer.

The BoundingBox function ignores selected points or polys, it always
uses all points in the layer.

I can't get gadgets to exist on the same line. For example, to have
multiple booleans, they each exist on a separate line.

I am unable to determine what units are selected inside ARexx. Yes,
they can be placed in a requester, but you don't know what they are,
and you can't change them.

I know this sounds petty, and I am grateful that I have ARexx (suffer
PC!!). I just wish the interface could be a little more flexible.


BTW,

If there are any undocumented ARexx functions to deal with Lightwave
or Modeler, please let me know.

Thanks,

John Follett
