Sorry, Never was great at math ;) 

As I mentioned in another message, I was playing with an animation tutorial
that uses the "holder" morph.  Well I've searched through this forum and the
wiki and still haven't found anything that documents what a "holder" does or
the fields that are exposed by it's viewer.  

I've also been looking at some of the examples on 
http://community.ofset.org/,
and trying to use Google translate to figure out what's going on with the
examples.

E.g. how to coordinate multiple scripts for multiple characters in an
animation or simulation.

I assume that I can create a 'master' script and then use something like :

==================
"Master Script"

  currenTime >= nextEventTime ifTrue: [

                Character1_script : start_ticking  (or whatever the "magic
word would be)

======  

(The logic above is very incomplete .. I'd want to choose from an array of
characters /classes, what I'm looking for is what is the message to "start
ticking" to a "tickable" script ;)

I still can't get I.E. to load the plugin, but I figured out how to download
the .pr files and load them directly into Squeak, so I'm looking at those
tuorials now.
