Yes, it's not natural. At the first approach, we had syntax "fsceil1:0 at river", (when I started to fix the bug, I realized, that I have just to uncomment some lines :))) but than we've changed it. The problem is, I can't remeber why :(((, but I believe we had a serious reason.

But the second think is - that joining lines at given points is really very rare situation. Firstly, when we had no "join scrap1 scrap2 -count 2", it was quite common. But now, we're almost not using it... (when you first think a little bit, where the scraps will join).

The last think, in naming we were inspired by internet (@ and ":" as separators). And there you also specify port using ":" behind the machine.

In fact, there is a lot of stuff like this in therion, we've left on "more sophisticated user interface", where you will just drag line from one line point to another.

I've put new developement version (20040229) on the server. We would like to release version 0.2.29 tomorrow, when Martin will include his changes and modify thbook. But if you're interested in, there should work line highlighting, selected line is red, area is automatically showed when selected and also moving commands to specific position in the file is possible.
