 I somehow had the impression that your macro could change shape as it
progressed along it's path. From what you say I now get the impression
that this is not so. Sorry for my lack of understanding and I will give
your macro more study so as to acertain it's true functionality before
again refering it to others for a given task.

 Regarding as to whether the code should have been placed in this group
or the scene files group that is where I am forced to disagree. To you
it may seem like a trivial piece of Pov script but to others it may seem
like magic. Many learn by example but where that example is hidden or
obscured there is no knowlege to be gained. What is gained from writing
a book but refusing to publish it ? What good is a book of beginnings
with no one to admire it ?

 Who will be able to find it here in three months time ?
 Who will be able to find it in the scene-files group in three months time ?

 I think that answer to both questions is obvious.
 No one and everyone respectively with no disrespect intended.
