Just to clarify, I am a "purist" at the moment for the fact that POV is all
that I have played with. It was not my intention to find a way to do this
and STAY a purist. I want to learn other apps, but I am just playing with
POV at the moment. I fully expected that an "outside" program would be
needed to do this, I just didn't know where to begin looking.

Thanks, Flu
