In my opinion, there is an attribute called "implementation",
that dia2code presumes may be set somehow(foresight?). I 
don't remember where I read it but it is supposed to be "suggested 
implementation" of the class.

Right. I've already done those things(i even have a pretty
cludgy way of taking source out of text files and stuffing
them into the classes). I was just looking to see if life 
could be a tad simpler. Like if I could write the code from 
within dia :)

I'm pretty sure there is not way to do it as of yet. It would
be a nice feature though.
