   That would be *fantastic*.  It'd also be nice (though this is 
somewhat pie-in-the-sky) to have a layer of abstraction between the user 
coordinate system and the internal coordinate system.  Say, allow the 
user to enter a translation factor (like "* 2.54, * 2.54") by which any 
coordinates entered would be scaled before being applied.
