Ahhh, that would do it.  Seems silly that it would work that way -- I realize it is impractical for the actual rendering of the animation, but to not be able to use it to setup that animation is impractical.  My system is pretty smoking, so it wasn't a HUGE deal to not have the ability, but I'm glad to learn this has been redeemed in Vue11.

I've been putting off installing Vue11, thanks for giving me one more reason to get on it.  

Take care.
