Whatever works for you I guess.
I do want to say, however, that Wings is one of the absolute best model programs out there,... and that's at ANY price.
Don't get upset by me saying this, since it is not meant to be a personal attack, but the errors you are experiencing are usually due to user error. Some programs will handle things when you do things incorrectly, others will not. Wings3D demands that meshes be "proper" and watertight, so if you try to import a model from another program things can go bad. This is usually caused by things like the user not creating a proper mesh, or sometimes in the way the mesh is exported (I think this may have been the case with your problem)
In any case, glad you got the problem solved, but don't be afraid to use wings again in the future. Taking the time to learn it is well worth it.
