Well, I finally received Imagine 1.0 a few days ago, and decided to try
all the examples in the tutorial manual before beginning on anything 
serious.

I've however had some problems with the last example in the manual
(the little man climbing a mountain).

In all modes except trace mode all work perfectly, but in trace mode
the man get some extra limbs which aren't connected to the body (some the new
objects are formed into a X)!!!

The scene looks OK in the stage editor.

Has anybody else experienced this problem, or am I just missing something
trivial???

I'm using the non-fp version on an A2000 with 3mb..

Oh yes, one other question:
 In the description of non-point light sources, the manual talks about
 the SIZE and the LENGTH of the light source. What does these parameters
 mean???

Any help would be appreciated.

Helge
