Guys,
Stephen,
Yes, that's the idea.  It adds 4 new entries in the menu.  Once the plugin
is installed, you can't tell that it isn't part of Moray.  There is no new
object and nothing new is saved in the MDL file.

It is simply a copy/paste/save of the transformations similar to what you
would do with a copy/paste in any tool.

Marc,
Your transformation idea is fantastic.  I hadn't thought about that before.
It does indeed sublimate much of my intended use pattern.
You gave me my word for the day:

In a previous lifer I used to be a Windows C++/MFC programmer and the Moray
SDK is actually quite intuitive once you get your mind around it.  When I
find myself using it and wanting some function, sometimes its easier for me
to craft out a plugin.... and besides ... I am on vacation :-)  (Its kinda
sad that I do programming for vacation ... oh well)
