Thank you for responding.

The problem I run into is that after setting up an animation, I test it out by running the loop. Usually after a couple of loops ( and figuring out heads don't turn that way ;) I toggle the 'stop' button on the animation palette.  Only in Poser 8, the loop continues to run.  I tried pressing ESC, multi-tapping the stop button, cursing myself for not having saved the hour's work, etc.  Eventually I have to go to the Control Panel to 'End Task' the program.  I looked over the enclosed command card and could find no keystroke combination to stop the loop.  Again, I've only encountered this problem with Poser 8 and its only happened a few times so I'm not sure if there's some new feature in Poser 8 that I'm overlooking or inadvertantly activating.

 

Again, thanks for your response and any help/advice you can provide.
