Ah, but thxp eplugins inside the sub-graph plugin ask their parent for buffers, so it IS a host, it just passes the requests on to it's own parent, which may be another plugin. Somewhere up the chain, the real management happens. That doesn't make it any less of a host. -- Notice that as computers are becoming easier and easier to use, suddenly there's a big market for "Dummies" books.
