At this point I can save this distortion as a morph by simply selecting the two groups being distorted in this case and then clicking object-spawn morph target from the popdown menu and naming each morph in each group. I then can dial up the morphs in the parameter dial up to one and delete the magents if I wish making a permenant morph in your figure. I will write more later, I have some business to take care of. Feel free to ask questions. marty
