Yep, OK I will try these tips, thanks!  :)

(Unfortunately, no, I did not use the OBJ from the Geometries folder.  I exported from DS as OBJ, as that was the original "easy" way to get it back into DS...which was before I had headaches getting a distributable morph in DS)

I fear I am going to have to go back to square one, but I'll try the UV Mapper thing first and see if it clear up the issue.

Thanks again!  I'll report back.
