I believe a have found the answer, but I'm not sure WHY it's happening.
If I follow the steps in the tutorial, it REMOVES the Wick (the candle tutorial) from the Pick list for the Object source.
I went through all the steps again in order, then looked and the picked object was gone. Adding the Wick to the pick list AFTER I went through the other steps seems to have worked.
Could this be a side effect of the demo limitation that removes all your saved settings? Is the picked object considered a saved setting? If so, the tutorial might throw a bunch of people, as it assumes you DON'T have this limitation.
Thanks a MILLION for the help, by the way. I love the web.
EDIT - NEW INFO: It appears to do this with both OBJECTS selected for the Object Source helper, and with lights in the pick box for Illum in the FumeFX major dialog. I have to continually watch to make sure that one or the other hasn't suddenly become unassociated. I'm assuming this is only true in the demo - - if it were true in the full release it'd be a major pain...but if this doesn't just happen for me it could cause frustration for others.
