I just wanted to profusely agree with Leonard. Under absolutely no circumstances use BalloonWriter, SARez or Rez are much easier to use, and much quicker once you get the hang of it. Sorry, I had very bad experiences with BalloonWriter! Of course, the best bet for Balloon Help is to get someone else to do it for you, right Quinn? :-) If anyone wants some sample balloon .r files to look at, let me know and I'll mail you one or two of mine.
