Been a while since I've used Imagine, and I skipped 2.9, so bear with.

Bones:
   Does any one know how the (from a poor memory) big subgroup and small
subgroups affect the object?  Am I right in that the small is the stable area
and the part of the big sg that doesn't overlap is the part that  `bends'?
I need to experiment more with changing the size differences(ie if your
area that doesn't overlap is large, what will it look like?)

Make subgroup:
  Is there a way to make `make subgroups' a hot key, or (not as good) make it
a button at the bottom(I think you can do this one, but what about the
hot key ie Ra-?)
  I can't remember if this ability is in there, but it would be nice if there
where a list of user definable hot keys such as La-<anykey>.  That way you
could assign a few hot keys that you use frequently and aren't already
hot keys(or just give everything a hot key), such as attributes and 
make subgroup.  If this is already in there, I guess I should read the
manual.

Bones again:
  Suggestion...Make bones more usable.  This is WAY too cumbersome.  VERY 
 powerful and I love the effect, but it is not very usable.  How does 
Lightwave do it?  Maybe you would lose some of the power of the bones if 
you made it more user friendly, and maybe I just need to play a little more,
but....  I do like it though.
