Hmm, yes, that would be nice indeed. At present, Poser only interacts 
forwards, not backwards...
About the coat, you could probably do that by using a separate mesh for the 
shoulders, and attach (constrain) the rest of the coat to them. That would 
need very careful modelling and even then I am not sure if it would work, 
though. Might be worth an experiment...

LOL!! I confess that I missed that one! I don't know the play but it sounds 
like Bernard Shaw? or Pinter? Forgive my ignorance in this.
On the other hand, the "handbag" made me look at Abdul in a different way 
and there was something disquitingly depraved in his overall demeanour, so, 
from one thing came the other...
I love that kind of word play  :-)
