Can anybody tell me anything useful about Walk Path splines?

For instance, I set up a walk path in Poser and moved the last point to be at about Z=0 and X=-0.4 but in the scene file, the last point is:

pt 0.040000 0.000000 3.200000

Okay...  That doesn't seem to make sense - the X value should be negative and the Z value should be ~0.0.  As all the other points appear to be absolute coordinates, why the flub here?

Here's the full set of points from the scene file:

    numControlPts        6
    pt    -0.040000 0.000000 -0.200000
    pt    0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
    pt    -0.042045 0.000000 1.312602
    pt    -1.134637 0.000000 1.224424
    pt    -0.790316 0.000000 -0.118770
    pt    0.040000 0.000000 3.200000

The spline should start at about the origin (as evidenced) go positive on the Z-Axis and curve back to the X-Y plane (a big 'C').

Thanks,
Robert

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
