Lash is a script to partially compensate for the backlash of the tool head.
The lash manual page is at:
http://fabmetheus.crsndoo.com/wiki/index.php/Skeinforge_Lash
The lash tool is ported from Erik de Bruijn's 3D-to-5D-Gcode php GPL'd script at:
http://objects.reprap.org/wiki/3D-to-5D-Gcode.php
The default values are from the settings in Erik's 3D-to-5D-Gcode, I believe the settings are used on his Darwin reprap.
Operation
Settings

Examples
The following examples lash the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and lash.py.
> python lash.py
This brings up the lash dialog.
> python lash.py Screw Holder Bottom.stl
The lash tool is parsing the file:
Screw Holder Bottom.stl
..
The lash tool has created the file:
.. Screw Holder Bottom_lash.gcode
