Mazak I bought that one also :) But to be honest - I can't animate worth squat in anything, so I would likely never use it :) Or rather by the time I've learned how to animate anything, we'd be on version 10 So Mazak and I shall be clinging to your shirt-tails for a bit. :) Just in case you were wondering why you're having trouble getting up the steps. That'll be us. Hanging on for dear life, but determined to come along for the ride. Silke
