Well I like very much the idea, but I only wish there were a way to make
this "procedural" interface supply some visual feedback, even if in "near
real time." If you get any further ideas, please let me know.
I agree that many people do not know of both POV and Csound - too bad, as
they have very much in common.
Good luck with your work.
Dennis
