Yes, I would be glad for you to add my script to the example scripts once I
get it working.  I hope others will be able to learn from it.

I realized that I do not have r1727.  I was able to download revision r1730,
but I do not think it is working, because when I run the simulation I still
get: "'ActionContainer' object has no attribute 'addF' ".  I am new to
open-source code, as well as yade, so I am not sure if I am doing this
correctly.

Thanks,
Roger
