doldridg, Thanks to you also for the help! I shall try it. After receiving Neftis' advice I tried again, & finally got a hair-like object. (See "P4 in P5 transmap rendering by Knuten on 10/15/02 23:57" for the image.) Previously, while fumbling around, I guess I went a bit hog-wild with "Nodes" to end up with the yolk-hair. :)
