Yes.

This might be better, if your LISP code is quite large and you don't want
(or need) to load it each time you reload your model. Files can be loaded
with the programming environment or with the funktion (load ...).

Same answer as above. I would write it in the misc window since it is
closely related to the model (using the same symbols).

Tschuess,
