EnglishBob re: Auto loading PRPCd.py
Don't try and autoload the server daemon. I tried this with the poserStartup.py and the server crashed. There wasn't a valid scene at that point and the server daemon needs one when it initialized.
Even if this did work, I wouldn't recommend autoloading any python script. If a new version of the script cause Poser to crash you could have big problems. Also, after installing a new service release, changes might cause the same problem.

I updated my web page to warn against autoloading.
I'll work on instructions for adding it to the python scripts palette when I get a chance.

thanks again for all the support help.
