To find the names all children in a mesh, use this:

Graphics3D 800, 600, 0, 2
PrintOutName(LoadAnimMesh("c:\_xfiles\mak_robotic.x"))
WaitKey()
End


Global c
Function PrintOutName(mesh, id = 0)
	Print String$("   ", id) + EntityName$(mesh) + "<"
	c = c + 1
	If c = 20 Then 
		c = 0
		Print "Press any key"
		FlushKeys()
		WaitKey()
		FlushKeys()
	End If
	For i = 1 To CountChildren(mesh)
		PrintOutName(GetChild(mesh, i), id + 1)
	Next
End Function

After finding out the name of the bone, use "bone = FindChild(mesh, name$)" (or "bone = GetChild(mesh, index)" if you know the index) to get a handle without using this routine. Then use "Entityparent sword, bone" and maybe PositionEntity sword, 0, 0, 0
