(grins at PJF!) Rookie. The hot keys are one of the major benefits of Bryce, or any program. To ignore their use is to miss out on many, many features. Ctrl-D, Ctrl-L, Ctrl-K, oh hell I could go on and on. Ctrl-Alt-doubleclick the Sun Dial. And that's only with Bryce. Time is money, PJF, and methinks a quick run-through from your hotkey sheet that came with your copy of Bryce might assist you in generating some kind of image or other, someday. Next you're gonna tell me you picked a Mac because it only has one mouse button, and it's less confusing?!?!? (grins, it's a joke, Bryce is a one-mouse-button program!) But I don't mind, whatever works for you! One suggestion for the keyboard-impared is the AWESOME remote control that comes with the ATI All-in-Wonder DV series of graphics cards. You can purchase this remote separetly, and it features an on-remote mouse, windows navigation keys, and as many as ten programmable hot buttons. You will never have to touch your quaint keyboards again!!! (for the record, MuddyGrubb was CORRECT! I DO need some coffee!)
