That all sounds horribly familliar.  I juggled commands around for weeks 
before I found a magic script that worked in FC2, but it wouldn't work 
in FC4.  I did get it working just once in FC4, and while I thought I 
had documented each move, I can't repeat the win.  I have a thick pile 
of how-tos to read before I give up, but it takes a lot of time.  My new 
machine may arrive first - then I start again.
