PhilC – thanks, I know about spline break and use it in error correction often, but there does have to be a keyframe there first.  And in order to make a keyframe I have to click on the body objects and then click on the 'add keyframe' button.  Two hands two feet, hip, neck, head, hair etc, every 20 - 10 frames, that’s 16+ clicks every 20 frames that could be contained in one click of a python script -which is what I’m trying to create, I was just wondering if someone else did anything similar cause I don't want to repeat someone else’s work.
