I got it working and posted my finding in another post. From the documentation the xprf resource is only needed if you want to supress overlays. Why you would want to do this is beyond me, because if you've gone through the trouble of creating an overlay, wouldn't you want to use it when possible? Although I suppose this could prevent someone from creating an overlay from your base .prc. and using it. Anybody have any examples where xprf overlay suppress was used to good effect?
