RedPhantom: Thanks, I'll doublecheck that, although I think I looked at it before.

primorge: thanks for the text editing info. I will try that. I certainly know how to parent; I've been using Poser since 2008. :) As I said, it was parented when I saved it, and I reparented it after loading. Interestingly, I don't think I've ever been prompted to save something as a smartprop, so far as I can recall.

Sunfire: Thank you for trying to help, but your advice is incorrect. Neither hair room hair nor underlying skullcaps have anything to do with the cloth room; and I have used hair room hair without running a sim hundreds of times. I don't particularly use it for the dynamics; I use it because I prefer the look of strand-based hair (and the flexibility and challenge of creating my own without being a modeler).
