Selden, Yes, I like the handle. It is from a Robert Aspirin book series. it is the phonetic spelling of fool, but you probably already knew that. As for the run around for the NFO files, it takes an extra 10 seconds.. whopty doo, 10 seconds.. or you could actually get a freeware NFO reader from cnet...

As soon as I start the program, I can stop the movement and move around, but the as soon as I start to move towards an object, Celestia crashes with this error: C:\DOCUME~1\RWR\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER35.tmp.dir00\appcompat...
