Hi, 1: Sounds that it can be your local firewall blocking something? You can also try to create a new user and try to login with that - testuser has special privileges and may have some special treatment in code (Mikko, am I right?) 2: Yes, press and hold Z then you can click and select mesh. You can also use Object list to select items that are hidden (from View->Object list). The mesh can be set to it's "natural size" and so the trees are not bound by the primitive, Other choice is to use the primitive as a bounding box. 3: There should be scripting tutorials for Python at realXtend wiki (see rexdeveloper.org). LSL can be used as well, but not all of the functions are (yet) supported. 4: MSSQL is quite well implemented, but I guess MySQL works too (Mikko, do you know about this?). SQLite is good for personal use
