If that includes specifying coordinates, then sweet :-)

Might be lesstif-only. :Report(NetLength) for gtk.

Ok, but the silk lines are also limited by DRC minimum silk rules. I
find that that kicks in pretty quickly on small text.

Ah, ok. I thought you did something to bypass the HID api in a

True. I'm probably one of the only lesstif users. However, there's
also the batch HID that gedasymbols uses, and some day we should have
a Win32 HID. There's at least one other GUI hid out there in the wild
