Hey Tom -

Thanks for the note and suggestion. Your suggestion shows how it works and I
get it, the problem I'm having is doing it in Moray.

When I look on the Media tab on the Scene Setting configuration screen, it
says that Named Media Must be created in the texture editor and given a
name. They will then appear here. There is empty list box next to this
statement. My problem is I'm not sure how to create this Name Media texture
in the editor so it will appear in this list box. I've created standard
textures using the media statement but it never appears in this box nor does
it seem to work. Any ideas on this?

Greg
