Thats beautiful Dewey. But it still involves reloading LCNC, either after editing the .ini, or reloading LCNC with a different config. I'd love to be able to do that from the gui. But I believe the current hal cannot undo a linkage once set, so even if its selected by the gui, its a one shot deal until the next time LCNC is restarted.
