Okee dokee. Got two questions this time.
1. I made a logo object with the Text option in modeller, then used the
extrude function to make them 3D. When I render the objects, they have
extremely sharp lines and artifacts where the polygon edges are on the
extruded parts. The stuff looks messy in general. What's the secret to
having clean text? ("smoothing" in the surface menu didn't help either)
2. What's the fastest/easiest way to clone an obect many times and give
each clone a different surface name? I made an object and cloaned it 35 times,
imported each one into modeller, changed the surfaces and exported them all
back out to Layout, one at a time. I then used "Save All Objects" and
everything was fine, until I rebooted and came back, and all the new surfaces
were gone! As a test I cloned an object once and gave the clone a different
texture, etc, etc, and when I cleared and re-loaded the scene, sure enough,
it was gone. So I assume Lightwave doesn't actually save the clone objects,
just the fact that one object needs to be replicated X many times when it;s
loaded into the scene.

P.S., they're right about NetBombs' mail server, I get 3 copies of each message
over the list!
