First of all...thank you, thank you, thank you.  I've been using Rhino
for about 1 1/2 years, and have used Monkey as my primary scripting
tool.  I was aware of Explicit History, but never really got that into
it because - although many of its features were very attractive - it
didn't seem as flexible, particularly in making use of conditionals
and nested loops and the like.  GH with vbnet has exploded onto the
scene for me in this last month...it's just tremendous: all the
convenience of both the GUI and hand-scripted elements.  I'm deeply
grateful to McNeel for putting the impressive resources behind this
project, and the dedication of the developers on this discussion forum
is exemplary.  Really, kudos to you all for this great work.

To my question: having used Monkey so long, I'm still getting used to
the different syntax and object behavior in vbnet, which is why I'm
having a devil of a time figuring out in it the proper syntax for
returning the point on a curve that is closest to a test point.  I
have my curves loaded and test points ready, I've searched this and
other forums, downloaded and checked the vbnet help file recommended
here, but still can't parse it.

(An additional question: I'm using the rhutil.rhinointerpcurve method
quite a bit and to fine effect in defining an onNurbsCurve...from the
vbnet help file, it seems like I could somehow send it null start and
end vectors?  It doesn't work if I leave those arguments blank.  Also,
if I could return null vector values, would this have the effect of
essentially calculating the start and end vectors based on the first
two and last points, respectively?)

Thanks again,

Dave
