First in a series of woven splines.  This started out as am attempt to do
Celtic knotwork with sphere sweeps.  I got a little side-tracked but
learned a lot in the process.  For one, I don't need a spline editor per-se
as much as a Spline Description language.  I did the spline nodes with
LOGO, outputting the location of the turtle at every stop to a file.  This
was then read into POV arrays, which were used to build the b-splines.
While it works LOGO is not the latest thing for building new user
interfaces. Python perhaps?

Hey, I'm liking that background. And the knot is pretty mental as well. 
Nice!

Maybe you could build a LOGO interpreter in POV-Ray SDL? (That was you 
can alter it to give you the kind of commands that you need. Assuming 
you can figure out how to implement them that is...)

Actually I am looking into using Python with Tkinter to do it.  I don't
require much, just the regular FORWARD, LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN etc.

Look into "import turtle" -- and you have turtle graphics in Tkinter.
