Fantastic, thanks!  Perhaps this is a new feature?  I first learnt
Therion three versions ago, so am not always up to date with the latest
iteration of The Book.

Hi,
please read the therion book... You can specify LRUD for both points
(From, To). Just use syntax like this:

Data from to compass clino length left right up down
 1 1a	45 10 0.01 [0.0 1.0] [2.0 1.5] [2.2 1.8] [0.5 0.2]

where first number is for "From" point and second one is for "To" point.
