You can append to the last anim you put on the PVR by copying the frames
into the dir for that anim.  That is if the last anim you put on the PVR
is called test you will find a dir called test under the iff/tga dir, and
then just copy the new files into that dir.  (But you should use the
right number sequence).   The play lists are okay, but I wish I could
pause on a frame for a time, i.e., 30 sec. bars, 10 sec. black etc.
