Yeah, I thought I remembered correctly.

The counter-argument is that while it is easy for an engineer to set up 
programming using a GUI, there are a number of people that then want to 
automate that process for technicians in manufacturing and they don't 
want the techs to use a GUI and get things wrong; they would rather 
automate the process. What better way then to set it up with a GUI and 
then have a ready made command-line that can be dumped into a script.

Sure, I'm open to it, though we'll have to consider timing as I'm not 
there for long.
