Thanks for you support. I would like to do the same with the scene-files
groups. There are useful utilities in both the text and binaries scene
groups that would easily qualify as utilities. There many times as many
posts in those groups so it is a much greater task than just the utilties
groups list was. If anyone would like to volunteer... Well when I get the
time I will post it but don't expect is soon.

An interesting concept. If not a built in internal function how about
inclusion with the example scenes that are included with the distribution
package. They take little space and would certainly help influence
the creative process for others out there that do not frequent the
newsgroups.
