Yeah, I finally got to RTFS and found a bug in their code.  I was able to
fix my problem by changing these two lines in WorldPilot.py:

BodyType=ST[0]
BodySubtype=ST[1]

To these:

BodyType=string.upper(ST[0])
BodySubtype=string.upper(ST[1])

I found out after adding some debug info to the code that it was
comparing BodyType to see if it was set to 'TEXT', but when it was doing
the comparison it was actually set to 'text', so it would fail.  I didn't
bother finding out why 'text' was in all lower case...

Makes sense...

Thanks for the help!  I'm going to send a patch to the WorldPilot people
to see if they'll fix it before the next release.


Have a great day!
