Well, with the I/O-Macros you could of course easily
retrieve the data of a particle's position, but it doesn't
output the velocity and such (though I could easily add
that without disrupting the functions of the system). So
it wouldn't be possible with the current release.

Aside of that, you could only retrieve the data, returning
it to the system would be VERY complicated and wouldn't
be very intuitive (though it IS possible with the User-Definable
Macros).

Regards,
Tim
