I wanted to suggest the following enhancements to the move and rotate
commands:

For the rotate command, add a parameter to allow a choice between rotation
around the present origin of the object being rotated, around the origin
where the object being rotated was "built", around the present origin of the
object sending the command to rotate, or around the origin where the object
giving the command was built. This would allow rotation of entire multipart
structures, and even moving structures, in addition to the current
possibilities. A sinple syntax would be something like [origin=0|1|2|3]
but I will leave that up to whoever impliments it. I'm just making a
suggestion.

For the move command, add a parameter to allow a choice between the
specified X,Y,and Z, values to move being relative to the world's coordinate
system, or the object's current orientation. This would allow a combination
of move and rotate commands to move objects around smooth curves such as an
elipse or a spiral.
