But if you have about two dozen splines, they're sprawled all across the
several "pages" of text, with lots of re-typing and re-pasting of similar
information.
I made up a sample Lotus 1-2-3 file with the type of spreadsheet I'd like to
work with, and here is the .CSV formatted export of that file:

//---start pasted file
,"hand.x","hand.y","hand.z","arm.x","arm.y","arm.z"
0,1,0,0.25,0.75,0.5,0
0.1,,,,,,
0.2,,,,0.75,0.75,0.1
0.3,,,,,,
0.4,,,,,,
0.5,1,0.5,1,0.75,1,0
0.6,,,,,,
0.7,,,,,,
0.8,,,,,,
0.9,,,,,,
1,1,0,0.25,0.75,0.5,0
//---end pasted file

For example, I may want the hand file to have key frames at 0.00, 0.50, and
1.00, with the arms at 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, and 1.00.  Of course instead of two
variables, it'd easily be two dozen.

So I suppose for my own benefit I could write my own pov file to read this
(yikes, what a task!), but "the system" might not be very useful to others
who don't have 1-2-3 or don't want to mess with a spreadsheet. And I'd have
to touch my mouse more often to do extra saves & switches between programs,
but I suppose I could survie this...
