@M@b@cExternal Routines

You can execute external routines from the Options pulldown menu.
For example, you could start your modeling program.  Create the file
$HOME/.xfpovray/external.routines and add lines of the following format:
    
       path name

where path and name are separated by spaces (not tabs, my parser is
pretty limited...).  path is the full path to the external program, and
name is the text that will appear on the menu (use only a single word).
For example, to start ac3d from the Options menu, add the line 
    
       /usr/local/bin/ac3d ac3d
    
to the file $HOME/.xfpovray/external.routines.
