Default Understanding Scripts

Hi,

I'm just starting with scripts. I've managed to select things by name, rotate, export and so on. I'm now trying to use the knife and I see a syntax I can't follow where the command is followed by "user command". How does this work please?

I tried selecting the object to use as a knife and then did "ac3d ddhknife" but that didn't work.

Also I'm struggling to work with internal object_id's. How can I obtain them? I don't see anything in the .AC file that looks like an object_id and I can't seem to list them. If I make something, say "new_cube" it doesn't return a value as an object_id.

Finally I'd rather find out the answers to these things myself than impose on others, though Andy has been very kind and helpful, so is there more documentation anywhere? I have a list of all the AC3D commands and the arguments they take but nothing more than that.

Phil
