You are THE MAN!!! The CharacterManager worked right away, but for a moment there I got worried because the ChoiceManager wasn't drawing the choice boxes in my main project like it was in the demo, and seemed to be getting hung at that point in the event -- but then I realized that I just needed to place it a little lower in my plugins list... Guess I must have gotten in a frustrated panic earlier and just started throwing them all over the place, lol. But now they're all working again, and I can breathe a huge sigh of relief! THANK YOU!!!
