Ah .. Ok, I'll give it a whirl, Michael. For all my years, I've witnessed much emotional carnage over someone just whining about something "blowing up", especially with no additional good debug data. It would be better if there was a method for logging the path of likely destruction to my X (KDE) desktop. She blows up like real quick! All I wanna do is just learn to use blender. <sobs uncontrollably> So I tend to turn from the pain. <grins> Even the lowest form of life with a spinal cord, the flatworm, will turn from the pain of a nearby lit match. It's amazing how those of us blessed with still working pre-frontal lobes react to pain. Me, I didn't want to file a bug report until I had something of use to offer to the recipient. <shrugs> Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
