Yep, that's the one downer with this solution (for Poser 4/PP users). The CR2 has to load the original character into Poser first then the new additional slots - otherwise you break the basic rule of providing Poser with access to the object before you modifiy/enhance/refer to it. And when you load the original, you obviously load all dials up to and including Rotate & Bend. But for what Insomniaworks was striving for - a way for newer Poser users to add morphs without requiring the user to get into Objaction Mover, Morph Master, etc. - it works quite well. And for Poser 5 users it works perfectly, as the Transform dials are always displayed separately at the bottom. For those Poser 4/PP users who want the morphs in a more logical place, I guess it's just a case of using Morph Manager - or your favorite editor - to move over the new slots permanently and replace the CR2. In other words more advanced users have lost nothing (beyond perhaps instructions on how to move the empty slot). One minor note, if you routinely store your original figures in folders of your own names (vs. the author's original name), you'll be looking at changing the path name in the readscript (in the CR2) before using it - although a readscript error is not fatal to Poser if you forget, as a invalid material file would be. Overall a big step forward.
