Hi Ockham_ Ajax alerted me to the fact that you'd come up with this_ I'll download and play with it shortly. Your absolutely right_what I'd wanted was a script that would do it on the fly so, for example, I could load in repeat copies of a bird model_ and change the cross-talk pre-fixes that Ajax's Underground allows you to add, so that each bird would have a different prefix (eg NP1,NP2,NP3)for the various easi-pose dials. I'm off to see if thats what you achieved!! Thanks eversomuch! Nigel/noggin
