So I added this functionality to my little suite of command line tools for mesa that I haven’t shared yet. It’s pretty minimal right now, but given this e-mail thread, I thought I’d share it.

These tools are really nifty when chained with MesaScript (make an inlist dynamically, point to the new inlist, run, repeat). Even without MesaScript, I like using this to set up chains of inlists to run without copying an inlist to the actual “inlist” file by doing successive “mesa point” calls from within a run script.
