Thank you, Super-nerd.

As you imply --"~1000 lines"-- skinny-dipping huge text-files spawned by eg OBJ or MC6 is not for the faint-hearted, but at least they are plain-text !!

And, yes, unlike some 'text' formats, tolerate editing... { Have you ever tried to fix bad paths in an 'ascii' FBX ? TSB,NFC !! }

Plus, this hack puts a new perspective on MC6: I've copy/pasted the rudiments of such out to MTL, I'm a tad wiser now...
