1. That error would seem to be caused by the character encoding of the  
word, "ÄKSÖN". Particularly, the "Ö". I would recommend removing the  
word (as well as the word, "Äydx"; though that doesn't seem to cause  
problems).

There would seem to be a few other updates needed to make the script  
function. First, the following variables need to be reserved in the  
initial 'let*' statement:

      (tmp-layer)
      (bump-layer)
      (fire-layer)
      (fire1-layer)
      (fire2-layer)
      (fire3-layer)
      (turbul-layer)
      (turbul2-layer)
      (sendtog)

The 'verbose' function call should be commented out. (Perhaps Kevin  
Cozens should consider adding it to the list compatibility functions?  
even as a 'no op')

Finally, the two 'plug-in-displace' function calls need to have their  
last argument ("CARTESIAN") removed.


Even with the above changes, the script does not seem to produce the  
intended result; but it will execute.
