Ah! I'll be getting a better idea of how this all works as I discuss and read about it. Somehow that's how my mind works . . . as an example I had no idea how pgm files worked in bryce before I made tiffer; if you read back on some of my early posts on that subject you'll see how uninformed I was there and then. . . but I'll get a handle on the new plugin soon.

This sounds a bit like it may be an examlpe of what I was trying to figure out last year of how to send commands from one program to another through the windows messaging system which I realized was possible after watching a demo of one of the poser to bryce animation tools. I got as far as being able to control the mouse in bryce and do a couple of simple commands but gave up as I was hitting intellectual road blocks, some of which I've found solutions for since.

I think somehow I already knew what you'd said but in all the excitement my mind hadn't put two and 2 togeather yet. I get like that when I'm trying to understand something new.

thanks,
