FINALLY.  I found an old tutorial here : http://www.acrionx.com/3d_modelling_poser_tutorials/?pg=how_to_make_INJ_REM_Pose_files_for_Poser_custom_character_face_morphs 

I used the morph brush to smooth out that area on both ears, followed the directions in that tutorial (though I did not make the 

remove option) and he now has an ear fix inj dial on his head parameters!  I've been trying to figure that out for years and  no matter

what I tried it didn't click.  I saved that tut into a Win document for later reference.
