	I am having troubles with the Animation system that comes with
	the system kernel (V1.1  Animate(), et al.).

	My animation object has 4 sequences, each sequence made
	up of an AnimComp with only 1 bob per comp.  I am *pretty*
	sure that I have initialized all of the structures for
	the AnimOb (an AnimComp, Bob, and VSprite for each view).

	I am trying to get my AnimOb to start in position 100-Y,
	50-X, but it always gets drawn in the upper-left corner of
	my screen.  I have set the AnX and AnY fields in the AnimOb
	structure to my desired initial values, but it seems to ignore
	it.  I have also set the X and Y positions in the Bob's VSprite
	structure to my initial values with no change.  I have mixed
	and matched setting the AnimOb only, the Bob only, and
	combinations of both, but still come up with the same thing-
	my AnimOb starts from the upper left corner.

	My AnimOb moves fine, the
		Animate();
		SortGList();
		DrawGList();
	calls work fine - at least as far as having my AnimOb
	move across the screen and change views, but the initial
	position is screwed up.

	Also note that I grabbed the swimming fish demo that was
	posted by C-A, and it ran fine, however, when I tried to change
	the X-Y positioning of that thing, the position stayed the
	same as before.

	There must be something very basic that I am missing.  If
	anyone out there could offer any help, it would greatly be
	appreciated.

	Thanks in advance.
