Hi guys, how do you put two shapes on one page?
You gentlemen are very good with xara art.
However, I don't hear well and need to depend on
written help rather than the movies. Also, I see
some of you are from the United Kingdom,
the home of some of my ancestors.

One way is to:

1. Import your first object.
2. Copy it.
3. Import your second object (this over-rides the import of the first)
4. Select line (see attached)
5. Paste in what you have just copied.

Using the text editor (X3D treats all objects as text) you can then arrange 'em as you choose.

Hey, I did it.

Hi Dr.Del, where's Tonto?

**Dr.Del** · 23 December 2006, 07:28 PM

Hi, I am working on Tonto.

The word "Tonto" means "stupid" and all the while during that series, Indians were being called "stupid".

Not a terribly PC image for you to use, now is it.

Perhaps you didn't know about that. Still, it is an improvement over the other one. At least with the "Masked Man", you are still looking for something for nothing which in anyone's book is robbery, so the mask fits, then doesn't it?

If you need help and are willing to try, but excuse the lack of good will, the people here who are regulars come here to give, not to get. You could learn something from that.

Isn't it true that Tonto means "fool" in Spanish?

This *is* true, but it was not that meaning that was intended by the producers of the show.

There are two versions of the story.

Fran Striker told the Saturday Evening Post that he invented Tonto's name and that it was picked by merely alterring the consanants in the name Bobo. (This was a caveman character Striker had created in another radio program.)

Jim Jewell says that Striker was remembering wrong. Tonto, he said, is another Potowatomie word.

There were a few Indians who would come to the camp to tell stories to the children.

One of the Indians apparently had a penchant for drinking after the children had gone to sleep. Sometimes he would get rowdy and the other Indians would call him "tonto." This meant "wild one."

Hi guys, I am one quarter native American myself. If I have offended anyone in this forum, I am very sorry. If it is your conclusion that I am not welcome here, I will go away. By the way, I do have a doctorate in ministy. I am 67 years old, just trying to keep life interesting by doing these things. I will return one more time to read your opinions. If all of you are of the opinion as Sally, I won't bother you anymore.

Dr Del,

I am Native American and I do not take any offense by the word Tonto. It is like many word of foreigns origin that I see on the internet.

In the language of the person using it there is nothing wrong with the word.

But in another language from a different region of the world the word would be considered vulgar.

We cannot take offense from a word because it has another meaning in an other language. We must depend on the intended meaning. Here Tonto was the friend of the Lone Ranger. Therefore it has an honourable meaning.

A labourer is worthy of his hire, also do not muzzle the ox when he treds out the grain. This is the advice of scripture.

Pay for work which is work and follow the dictates of your Holy Book.
