All the documentation in the KMY2PRT_Saver.mel script (line 1250) that is included in the Krakatoa install. I can also help you out if you need help getting it working.

    Sounds like a good start..

    Were you able to find the docs for the exportToPRT() function?

    What I would need is some actual working command line examples;
    assuming you did locate the docs, were they sufficient to help you
    create a working example? If not, you might want to follow up.

    I'd suggest leaving rush out of the equation for now,
    and just focus on making a command line example work.
