Thanks bagginsbill!

I think I might have that product, but I'll have to check.  If I do, I picked it up while I was mostly using V3 and might have put it on the back burner.
The problem that I've always had with pantyhose and stockings in Poser is that the hosiery always looks bulky.  Stocking material should be completely form fitting where you can't see daylight between the stocking and the skin, which is why I like your dial settings so much.   
If nothing else, I guess I can use the "Long Stocking" files to create a separate group for the stocking toes and/or the stocking top and make everything else invisible.
