You can embed Nasal code in OBJECT_STATIC models. Just add a
<nasal><load>...</load><unload>...</unload></nasal> structure to
the xml file. The two branches are triggered on load/unload, but note that
models are unloaded quite late (e.g. an object in KSFO is unloaded after
you have passed KMRY!, which is quite a distance). You can start a
loop in the <load> part, and stop it in the <unload> part. (Yes, you have
to do that explicitly, or the loop keeps running.) Look at some dialogs
in $FG_ROOT/gui/dialogs/, if you aren't familiar with Nasal embedding.
There's no example in CVS for static objects doing that.
