The fact that people have lower case first names isn't always a typo, in
many cases it is intended.  Please do not force capitalization on names.

Re: [opensource-dev] Draw Distance

[Serra Anansi]

I like the command line in emerald, you just type in "dd 512" and it's done.

((I really like all the command lines in emerald.  Took me a bit to get used
to them, but after I did I am really missing them now that I came back to V2
to give it another go while you all are working on it.))
