GWeb, actually, if you do it the way rzanderuthledge said, it works with either button checked. However, if you pick say just the neck element, and click on the box for it to key frame it, and the This Element is selected, only the neck will be keyed. If the All Elements is selected, the entire figure will be keyed. If you are at the top of the tree, then the entire figure will be keyed, regardless of which button is active.
