Is there a command line interface for FT3+ ?

I would like to use batch files to generate worlds with specific settings including possibly running a script - is this possible?

Scripting possibilities in FT3+ is relatively limited. Do you have the Tome? If you do, the script commands are listed on page 738.
You'll also find the same in the FT3+ help file, just search for "scripts".
Not sure if there are any command line options.
I was thinking that FT3+ had command line options or some form of API given that it is called by AS2 by NBOS to generate world graphics

Isn't FT3+ a Win32 application? Can one use Microsoft UI Automation? It might be possible to wrap a command line harness around FT3 and map text commands to clicks.
Note: I have too many irons in the fire right now. Otherwise, I'd try it. Just a passing thought.
I am doing all the automation using python scripts. I am working with Traveller and converting the various world details into parameters that are passed to FT3. Sadly there are things I would like to automate via a script but, the command line in its current form does not give that option.
I run this all under linux using wine so I don't have some of the windows gui automation tools.
