True, but it would be nice if Allen made it as easy as possible to
do. The best way I've seen is in Morph Plus, which gives the user a place
to start an AREXX macro immediately after each frame is rendered. For me,
something like that in Lightwave would be optimum, as I wouldn't have to
code half-assed "deamon" lurkers to watch the target directories.
