I remember putting up a piffling little freebie once, right next door to "900 free poses!", tens of thousands went for the free 900 poses, bugger all went for mine (I think it was a curtsey for Av Lab), nothing wrong in that but it does beg the question why some people find posing so difficult. I suspect it's because they're still trying to work with the mouse on the figure in the document window. So, Bob - chuck away the manual and start using the dials, work from the hip and feet first and then out from the hip, once you've got your first pose right, fine tune and key-frame with the graph editors just like Wolf said (and which, incidentally don't work quite as well in P5 as they did in PPP - they don't change automatically from parameter to parameter like they used to)...
