So as best as I could ultimately determine the conflict was due to Mac's decision to no longer support Flash and how that interacted with Poser 9. I bought the $99.00 upgrade to Smith-Micro Poser Pro 11, thinking I would then have to upgrade further to Poser 11.3. However, Bondware did everything automatically and I am looking at (Bondware) version 11.3, which works. It is importing P9 docs strangely (a missing shoulder or texture here and there, asking me for the location of non-existent objects), but I think I will hammer these out in time. It beats the heck out of a complete shut-down.

Does anyone know of a forum or other resource (perhaps a page # in the 1000+ page user's manual) explaining how to transfer items from Runtime sub-folders for the older version to the corresponding sub-folders for Poser 11 without screwing anything up? Intuitively, it seems like one would just drag the items from the older sub-folders to the new ones, but I have too much time into the docs to want to guess.

Thanks
