  Warp, you're right. I forgot the box was included among the uv mapped
objects.

Why is that unfortunate, other than that the mapping is a little
weird?

While you are waiting for the new feature<g> here is a technique
I've used for such an effect. It has been suggested you make a box
out of intersected planes, or polygons, but this technique is
more automated, and also works to apply box-like mapping (or any
texturing) on more complex shapes.

The general explanation can be found at...
http://www.enter.net/~cfusner/tutorial/ch08.html

If this technique sounds like it would work for you, there's an 
INC file available from the link at the bottom of the page which
helps apply the technique in general form.

  Sorry, my wording was pretty confusing. What I tried to say was something
like: "Unfortunately you are wrong, the box is uv-mapped" :)
