There are basically two ways of using lists: (1) As common elements across multiple renders (which seems to be what you are talking about here). For these, you should run genlists immediately after alloc. (2) As reusable elements within a scene. For these, you're generating them on the fly already. So there doesn't seem to be any design reasons for this approach. (However, I do understand that backwards compatibility is generally a good thing.) -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
