	Sadly, I have not used The Director at all, though I have looked
through the manual.  I do know that The Director does not deal with Sculpt-
Animate's "movie" files.  This is because Byte by Byte has chosen not to
document their animation compression format (which is too bad, really).

	The Director is a programming language, similar in syntax to BASIC.
Depending on how much time you want to spend, a Director script can be as
simple or as complex as you want.

	Though I've never used it, it's cheap enough that it'd be hard for
you to go wrong.  Give it a look.

	Sounds like a store local to me.  Do they play MidiMaze a lot?
