the answer, Nik, is yes, you load in the to-be-morphed state at frame 
two, through thirty.  And for that last question, you'd have to load your 
original state back in, at frame fifteen.  (If I'm understanding you).

	Any way you look at it, this is lame.  There's no morph here, but 
a jump, from one state to the next.  It looks awful, jerky, and dumb.  
I've already found myself setting things up in 3.0, then backtracking 
into 2.9 to do the rendering so I can have transition frames.  Lame, 
lame, lame.  But a great argument for never throwing anything away!
