Yes, I'd like a command which would write out to/append to a file, yes. --- something like having a command in the module radiuscut(beginx, beginy, endx, endy) module which had:...

Complete proof of concept on this (albeit w/ hand-edited Console -> G-Code conversion) here: https://community.carbide3d.com/t/doing-cam-in-openscad/25214

Should that work in Windows? Tried "C:\Program Files (x86)\RapCAD\rapcad.exe" test.rcad -o test.gcode and didn't get anything --- while I'm willing to use the commandline, I worry other folks won't ---...

Works on Mac OS X as well --- apparently there you need to include -o null to get the executable to quit. Also posted a pair of announcements to /r/openscad...
