With Caravel DROD, there is no way (that I know of) to IMPORT or EXPORT demos.

This would be majorly good to have, since you could post partial (or full) solutions to puzzling rooms. Or just plain hints with a few moves to show people what you mean.

Is demo importing/exporting on the list of things to put into the next version (I\'m keen on hearing about the editor too).

I agree with this for sure.

I\'ve introduced DROD to a few people who I know only on-line. Some of them didn\'t get very far into the game before giving up. If I could\'ve sent them demos with hints/solutions in email, they might have gotten futher.

Mike Rimer has already finished this. It will be in the next release. Very important, I agree.
