Quick question then, to show I'm paying attention in class. :) We know that Poser library files fall into two categories: those that add objects to the scene (CR2, HR2, PP2) and those that modify the existing scene (CM2, FC2, HD2, LT2, MT5, MC6, PZ2). With some exceptions such as the left/right hand choice which is hard coded into Poser, actions can be freely exchanged between the types of each category, but not across categories. For example, a pose file can be renamed to have a .CM2 extension and it will still have the same effect; Poser 6 and 7 use the .PP2 extension for conforming clothes that you might expect to find with a .CR2 extension, and so on. So, if an object adding file can't be called via readScript from a scene modifying file, can it be called from another object adding file? Can a CR2, for example, include readScript which adds a prop? And can it also add a pose? I believe the answer is yes, but I'm not able to test it out right now.
