function Status = zPushLens(Timeout)
% zPushLens - Copy lens in the ZEMAX DDE server into the Lens Data Editor (LDE).
%
% Usage : Status = zPushLens(Timeout)
% zPushLens will take the lens currently loaded in the server's memory and push it into the Lens Data Editor.
% In older version of ZEMAX, a dialog box will appear from the ZEMAX main window asking the user for permission 
% to accept the lens data being pushed by the client. 
% More recent versions of ZEMAX will reject all zPushLens attempts (return value -999) unless permission is
% granted via a checkbox on the Editors tab of the general ZEMAX preferences dialog.
% The client will wait Timeout seconds before returning a timeout error.
% If the lens data in the LDE has not been saved, an additional dialog box may appear asking
% if the old data should be saved first. The returned string is the same as for the zGetUpdate function; after updating the
% newly pushed lens file. If a value other than 0 is returned, the Update failed, if -999 is returned, the lens could not
% be pushed into the LDE. If -998 is returned, the function timed out.
%
% See also zGetPath, zGetRefresh, zLoadFile, zGetUpdate and zSaveFile.
