Maybe it would not be such a good idea after all. I am left handed so my
code would be not only non indented but backward as well. Try to parse
that !

Hey! That's not a problem. I wrote a program which reads the text
from a 
file and writes it backwards :)

Ok but can you write a program that reads the text from my mind and
write it foreward ? :)

    Dam! That was supposed to read "POV" in the "from" column !

    Was a joke. Don't worry.

Parse the entire file looking for command-line options? Might not be
feasible, since they need to be done first. Reading a Ini file or
command-line from the parse would be good for calling upon
interactions though. Say you tell it to render to a line (pixel
position for that matter) or to a clock value then do something else
(like shift the pov script by external editing) before going back and
continue another parse and pick up tracing where it left off.
Actually, there may be a way to do plenty already as is, much of which
I am still a "newbie" at.

There could be rules of hierarchy established to facilitate this. Take
for example you currently cannot use a declared object until you create
it i.e.

object {foo}

#declare foo = sphere{0,1 pigment())

  For instance you could specify that any command line options must be at
the top of the file before any scene description language is used or it will
be ignored or an error is returned. I have often wished for this feature and
see it as a way to help eliminate having to have multiple files to render a
scene. Wouldn't it be nice to set all of your animation options in the same
file for quick changes ? The same is true of many of the other features that
demand they be specified on the command line or by the appropriate settings
in an ini file.
  I have always assumed there was a technical reason prohibiting this so have
just let it slide. Remco "the rebel" de Korte just happened to voice what I
have been afraid to voice myself.

My guess would be non-related sections of the source code. Part to do
the Ini and command line type stuff and part to do the script parsing.
As you know, the only thing relayed back to a scene file is 'clock'
and a few things like scene file name, etc. By "technical", you could
say that there is no passing interpretation probably which exists
outside the two sections. Yet there might be after all. I never did
get the 3.0, nor the 3.1, source. Had a thought, remember the screen
resolution manipulation in that custom compile? Answer must be there
somewhere then.

Hmm... No problem with this too. But first you must write
your_mind.h
and give it to me :)

At least it would be nice to be able to access the command-line options inside the
scene-file...(for example #if(clock=Initial_Clock) ... )
