thanks!

dunno what it is, but i cannot seem to get things like rotate and move to work. i find myself fumbling around with the dialogue boxes and then nothing happens.

i will try your sweep (a function i have used before in other apps) and see how far i get.

if i have been ungenerous, i apologize. i think the app is brilliant... at least in those areas where I can get it to work. If you would like some assistance in writing the doc, i would be glad to help; i do have some background in that area.

i will look too, at the tutes you suggest. i have looked at a number, but none details the elementary aspects of the interface or tool basics. Heck, once i have that down, i can usually figure the rest out myself.

thanks again, i will let you know what results i can manage.
