Fred,
[1] If one wanted to learn more about this function is this covered
in the manual ?
[2] Is the manual that ships with Vector CAD [ the 368 page one ] the
same manual that ships with the full version of 9.3?
[3] Is there any more examples / course work other than the on line
help and the manual?

Genuine enquiry's, not looking to start a war.
I did a search in the manual for Fifth, 5th, YA, YB and Articulated
but didn't come up with anything.
