I do, actually, but I don't want to implement it just yet ;). I'm being=20
lazy, so that feature can wait. :) I'll probably not do anything at all=20
with rotation until I get ready to do that part of the dungeon designer.

Wouldn't think of it ;).

I know it doesn't sound very useful at first, but it allows us to have=20
a static, global config object where any number of clients can read and=20
share config data. Actually, in this context it's not as useful as a=20
long-running app (where DM is a "run to quickly generate output" app).

I'll be back on the home PC tonight and will try to finish up the=20
BlockElement stuff. I'll keep you posted, of course.
