A program that lists the properties and coordinates of the selected sprite in dinkedit in a text file when you press a button would be REALLY USEFUL.

A seperate program? That seems like way too much work. I mean, why not just modify Dinkedit?

Why not use windinkedit (right click gives all the sprite's info on the screen)? Not in a text file, I admit, but if you need to memorize it make a screenshot....

Reasons are many. Firstly I don't like windinkedit, secondly that's so troublesome it's easier to write things down on paper. Besides the program/modification of the source (whatever you call it) could create ready commands like sp_pseq(&current_sprite, 74); and sp_x(&current_sprite, 196); instead of mere numbers to make everything as easy as possible for the author.
