From the Oxford English Dictionary 'Canon - general law, rule, principle or criterion. (Greek - Kanon - rule)' Good research, wadams. If you get any more, I'd be interested. I'm thinking on compiling a Poser FAQ along the lines of 'Everything-you-skipped-in-the-Poser-Manual-and -meant-to-go-back-to-one-day' LOL Basically just a collection of obscure Poser facts aimed at newbie to intermediate, and mainly stuff that people are constantly answering in the forums. And this question is the sort that crops up again and again. mac
