I do notice, tho, that cubic interpolation is not applying to the
translation (location) of an object any longer. When I turn Cubic on, it
affects only the distance traveled between frames, not the actual path of
the travel (which remains linear.) Is this the way its always worked? I
thought in the previous version, the Cubic interpolation caused
straight-segmented paths to "curve" slightly to smooth out angular movement
of animated objects.

Think of the old bouncing ball animation, where you'd like to create
parabolic motion paths with certain keyframes able to have a very sharp
change in direction - where the ball hits the surface. The frame
interpolation needs also to be biased toward the center of the parabola -
where the ball slows down then speeds up again as it returns to bounce on
the surface. If I were able I'd attach an image of what I mean (company
firewall issues) - and I don't think I could pull it off with ASCII-art.
I'll try to illustrate what I mean when I get home and have a chance - look
in m.bin...

Just a thot,
-Kman
