Might need to be a little careful here though.  I think Wings' greatest 
weakness is as a general mesh editor because it insists on storing 
closed structures.  Other editors do not and therefore unclosed 
structures are common to the point of being the norm.  On import, Wings 
will try to close open structures if it can, that is it will try to 
guess at how to join unassigned edges.  When possible it will assign 
it's "hole" texture to span apparent openings.  This can, all in all, 
make it  unpredictable as a general editor I have found, especially when 
trying to take models from Poser.  Sometimes it works, sometimes not. 
One thing it does not seem to handle well is .obj files with multiple 
groups.  It seems to try to make each group a separate object usually 
resulting in use of the "hole" texture everywhere.
