DISTNCE allows you to key-in the desired length of the
segments (i.e., the distance between the created points).

The endpoint closest to the selection point is always the
first point created on the specified curve. If the length 
of the curve is not an exact multiple of the specified
distance, a point is not created at the other endpoint of
the curve.

The specified distance cannot be greater than the length 
of the selected curve or less than .00005.

Enter the desired distance and press <Enter>, or press
<Enter> to accept the default distance of 1.00.

Indicate whether or not you want to group the points.
Choose NO to continue without grouping. Choose YES to 
create a group, and enter a group name.

Select the curve near the desired start point.

If the specified distance is greater than the length of 
the curve or less than .00005, an error message is 
displayed. You are prompted to press <Enter> and to enter 
a new distance.

If the specified distance is valid, the points are 
created automatically.
