Well i tried it and it will do one at a time ok but when I try to get multipal point it does not keep them in order. The first one could be 01 and the second one might be 05 and the third one might be 47. So I would have to do them one at a time. But better then the way I was doing it!

Tried that but looks like when you open a dll file. Could not make any sense out of it!
Here's what I am trying to do. I am trying to select certain points in the model and turn them into 2 point poly chains. I have tried to do it with the strand maker but does not seem to work no matter what I do.
So the only way I have found to do this is to find out the cords for the points that I want to make a strand for. I have a 2 point poly chain and want to move the points in it to the corresponding cord.
Hope that helps as to what I am trying to do!

What .dll.. ? You should use File > Export > Export to OBJ and open .obj file inside of some modern text editor.. try ConTEXT or NotePad++

Select point, press 'e' (it is shortcut of Multiply > Extender Plus), then press 't' (Translate/Move interactive tool) and move mouse.. You have 2 point poly.. press 'e' again.. move mouse... press 'e' again.. move mouse etc. And you have 2 point poly chain.
If points exist, select two points and press 'p' (shortcut of Create > Make Pol). Select the next two points, press 'p' etc. etc.
Don't select more than 2 points, otherwise Make Polygon will make triangle or quad or n-gon. Just two. You can't have duplicated points in mesh.
One of the easiest ways of creating 2 point poly chains for hairs is.. EasySpline http://easyspline.trueart.eu
You just have to draw spline, and then use Spline Density interactive tool. It has option to freeze it directly to 2 point poly chain, with specified by user number of segments.
