No problem. I've tinkered around with the "Beveled Text" macro Jerry
supplied, and Superpatch POV, and got some quite interesting results
(actually boring but.. well, you know). It *looks* loke the macro
might actually be faster than using a mesh generated via Corel -> DXF
-> 3D Bevel. In some ways the quality is higher too (and in some ways
lower - there's never a win-win scenario).
