Thanks Alan and Ned,
I've had limited success with this. I made a wall in Wonderland, I could
drag and drop a morph such as a flasher and the whole wall would turn into a
flasher. I tried with a workspace but the wall wasn't interested. It
wouldn't embed and it wouldn't be sticky. Actually the embed was an option
but when I moved the camera the workspace stayed with the camera. I tried
the same with the pluggabletext and that wouldn't work and had similar
behaviour except in two cases the text flew off the screen (yes, it was
funny). There was no problem embedding in the camera but that would defeat
the purpose.

I also made a mannequin from a 3ds file and tried to embed a workspace in
the head and chest (hoping I could have a few and they would walk over when
I called them) but the mannequin wasn't interested either.

I still have to try and put several workspaces in a stack to see if that
works. But I'm more interested in the 3d and bigger spaces.

Any feedback ?

Thanks!
Gary
