You know, Andrew Cool was making animated time-series in an
FSC_Window last night. This was something I hadn't anticipated
wanting to do. It took about 15 minutes to modify FSC_Window
to accommodate Andrew's request for a "command delay" and
a LoadCMD keyword that would just load the commands in the
window without executing all of the commands every time a
command was added.

Can you even imagine how much time it would take to modify
a function graphics command to do something different? I think
this is a several orders of magnitude difference in the two systems.

Cheers,

David
