Thanks, bob. Now that I think about it, python is probably the way to go. I'll check out those scripts you mentioned.
It would probably help if I explained what I'm trying to do. I'm building a pack which has a system of modular drainpipes, pipes and cables (on the exterior of a house). Each set has a number of basic components and the user fits them together to match the structure of their house (Room Creator, which is also modular).
My idea was to include a bunch of pre-prepared files, but rather than save entire collections of props, I thought of using Readscript to build the sets. Now that I have the daz studio script, a simple pose file which can load any number of figures or props, and pose them, I'm hoping to find a Poser equivalent. If there's no way to do it, I can always save prop sets in the poser version, but I always prefer to make both versions of a product as similar as possible. Not only that, since I mainly deal in complex scenes, a workable system like this would be useful to me for all sorts of other things.
Oh, and thanks for news on Les. I haven't spoken to him for a long time, but before I asked in here, I searched this forum for both the subject and his name. I'd forgotten just how many weird and wonderful things he's come up with - lol.
cheers

PS If you use daz studio and want to try that script, it's here. There's a downloadable file with samples, ready to go.
