track?

I'm thinking about not upgrading "Strata 3D" because it still doesn't export 
textures with obj files and it just created an undo of more than one action, 
believe it or not... Am I expectiong too much of a $400+ program, to export 
textures with obj files? Does Blender do this? I see the BBook on Amazon for 
$30. That's probably my best bet, no?

Is the manual you refer to the group project on blender.org or the $ manual 
like the one on Ebay?

I think you're right. I'll find a blender forum. Thanks for your help.
