Hi Al, after editing you *must* rerun mri_fill, otherwise no editing changes will be used (since it regenerates the filled volume from the wm, and it is the wm that you edit). Note that inflate_subject-lh and -rh *don't* rerun mri_fill, that is done in inflate_subject before calling the -lh and -rh. As far as the 0.0 minutes problem, you'll have to send along a log file (if it still occurs).
