Hrm,
Well I would argue the point of unnecessary. From a scripting
perspective, having the 'in' command argument list documented could be very
useful... But that's a lot of work for (probably) not a lot of people who
would use it. Just some food for thought.David Loman Apprentice Software Developer Extraordinaire Retired Journeyman Target Describer Extraordinaire -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Sean Morrison Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2008 4:51 PM To: Csanyi Pal Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [brlcad-users] explanations for the numbers in make shape.s commands On Aug 23, 2008, at 1:44 PM, Csanyi Pal wrote: > I would like to work on a tutorial that documents selecting and > specifying parameters to primitives.

It's unnecessary. That could make an interesting tutorial but as Dave mentioned, you would probably be better off running the 'in' command in interactive mode where it asks/explains everything it prompts you for. Then you don't need to spell everything out after the fact -- it's part of the command transcript. The existing Volume II MGED tutorial covers the 'in' command in detail in Lesson 3. You might want to take a look at that first before working out how to make things better. Cheers!
