Syflex quezzie 2005-04-06 - By Steve

Sorry Brad - one more thing. Pinning - I'm doing what it's asking but
must be missing something. I pick my ribbon, select the points I want to
use to pin, then add the hat to the selection, then Const>Create Pin.
Nothing but a reminder pops up telling me to select the point clstr or
vertices of the cloth, and a polymesh, which I figure is what I'm doing
already isn't it? I know this is one of those things I'm going to feel
very stupid about in a few minutes ....
