I have a question... about tp2 files.
As you know, we have different results if we do:

COMPILE ~mymod/folder_of_d_files/file1.d~
~mymod/folder_of_d_files/file2.d~
~mymod/folder_of_d_files/file3.d~
~mymod/folder_of_d_files/file4.d~

or

COMPILE ~mymod/folder_of_d_files/file1.d~
COMPILE ~mymod/folder_of_d_files/file2.d~
COMPILE ~mymod/folder_of_d_files/file3.d~
COMPILE ~mymod/folder_of_d_files/file4.d~

If we use EXTEND_BOTTOM, COPY_TRANS and APPEND to the same "states", these two commands "actually" have very different results.
And I must use the second style in my mod...

The problem is that I would like to say:

COMPILE ~mymod/folder_of_d_files~

but this is the same thing as the first command...

So is there a command, that could be:

COMPILE_FOLDER_STEP_BY_STEP ~mymod/folder_of_d_files~

and that would do what I expect? (I have W118 and I have not found it...)

Here is the kind of file.d that I want to install with it:

APPEND ~MYDLG~

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN AAA
SAY @1
= @2
= @3
IF ~~ THEN REPLY @4 GOTO AAB
IF ~cond1()~ THEN REPLY @5 GOTO 16 // 16 already exists before I append
IF ~!cond1()~ THEN REPLY @6 DO ~manyactions()~ EXIT
END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN AAB
SAY @7
= @8
COPY_TRANS ~MYDLG~ 155 /* 155 already exist */
END

END

EXTEND_BOTTOM ~MYDLG~ 155
IF ~cond2()~ THEN GOTO AAA
END

I use many of these files in order to create a list (just like cespenar do when he looks at your items!)
If I can do this in one line I will be able to add new things to the list created in my mod without changing the tp2 file!

Does anyone else want this feature?

I could add it for you, but it would take time. And somehow I'm thinking that it would take me a little more time than it would take you to just cut and paste a few text lines in your TP2 file. But if there is a big demand, I could do it. How many D files are we talking about here?

Thank you for reading my question, I want to say that I use about 65 .d files and they don't need to be done in a particular sequence...
