Oh thanks for the hint!  However, I dont have direct access to the
repository - this is a sourceforge project (http://mayavi.sf.net)

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mayavi/mayavi/

But in any case I think I have it covered.  I hacked knee.py to do
exactly what i want.  i need to test it more though.

Oh, app.py is not the problem.  Actually the app.py I was talking of
is a script that can handle itself and I dont mind fooling with one
file to get things working but changing everything else to use FQN's
(fully qualified names) is a pain.

Anyway I modified knee.py to make my approach work!  The fix was about
10 lines of code.  Will test it some more out early tommorow and mail
you folks the code.  Its late, so God knows what goofs I may have made
but so far it works great for my silly test package!!  Will fill you
folks in later tommorow.
