After a cursory examination of the new code generation features of POV-Ray
3.1, I am pleased with the way things have been rearranged. It appears to me
that one can now customize how the "Insert" menu works (is that true?). If
it is, it seems to me that one way to add some capability to the IDE is now
easier, because it is no big deal to write an application which pops up a
custom dialog to enter information and then to write it to a file (maybe to
a file which is present in the "Insert" menu structure). Then the question
comes to mind: is it then possible to command the IDE to insert the code
which was just written to a file? Can a menu item be selected
programmatically without much trouble, via DDE, OLE, or some other
interface? And can the code in the currently active buffer be parsed and
modified under program control?
