I think, maybe, the newer tutorial file might be available at Smith Micro.  Seems like something they would hang on the Web.  You might have to type in your serial number, etc.  I'm surprised there wasn't one in the installation.  Maybe they don't write them anymore ...

I don't sell pose files, or anything else, but there are a few sets available for some of the older figures.  Some Victoria 4 poses ... http://www.ranquist.net/goods/loot.htm

And my Poser is version 7, that came right after 6, not the 'Pro' version.  I never did the update the newer versions and in fact waited a long while before even installing Poser 7.  I bought the software when it first came out and went back to Poser 6 because of all of the early bugs.  Wasn't until way after service pack 3 came out that I got around to installing the package.  I bought a new machine and decided rather than keep using version 6 I would upgrade.  Smith Micro had, I think, only recently purchased Poser.

Glad you are working through the Animation Palette.  This is such a fun program.  Animation, the Materials room, and the Cloth room can be really fun too.  The software certainly had kept my interest for these many years.

Best Wishes,
