 I do, and I select it...

 It is named 'Pre_Toggle' and sure enough Actions can see it and insert its

name into the Actions field.  As stated, I've tried the default

'/Pre_Toggle', also 'Pre_Toggle', '/', 'Edit/Pre_Toggle', &c.

 And that is exactly what I want it to do (hence the 'toggle' name...)


 ...I dun'no, I guess I'll copy frames and create MC's out of everything and

put it all into just one scene with just one timeline.  At least then I can

follow the examples as outlined in the manual.  I just don't understand why

a program would supply you with the capability to do 'scenes' and not at

least make them as functional as MC's.
