	Sorry, should have put smileys around that one.  It just struck me
that the 25 object limitation was a trifle small.  Suppose I wanted all the
polygons in an object to explode all over the place.  The logical way to do
it is to have each polygon be a seperate object.  Only now does it suddenly
dawn on me to create several different versions of the object with its
polygons thrown around.  However, I'm not sure how I'd specify that to
VideoScape without a seperate settings file for each frame.

	I've said it before; I'll say it again.  VideoScape is a very useful
tool, but be prepeard to put in a *lot* of work.  Now, if I could just
afford a CSA Turbo Highrise...
