Sorry to post twice in a row. I hope I'm not being annoying... :-) I'm just
really stuck, and I'm sure there's an easy answer, but I can't figure it out.
I have 1) a point in a mesh and 2) a user-defined object created at the origin.
I want to be able to orient the object perpendicular to the mesh surface at the
known point. I know the normal, but I cannot figure out to calculate the
rotation for the object. Can I use the normal to orient the object, or am I
just way off in figuring out how to do this?
Thank you!

NP, post away =)
There are some macros for this sort of stuff in "transforms.inc",
like...
object { foo
Point_At_Trans(myNormal)
}

That did it! And after looking at the math behind it, maybe it wasn't as easy as
I thought it would be... o_O
Thanks a bunch!

You're not anoying at all. Asking questions is the object of this board after all.
Also, asking one question per post the the recomended way.
