Thanks for your response and the hint about being able to script a box to accept it, but I think I need clarification on one point - how can you get an object to give a copy of itself? I thought an object could only give out it's contents, not give itself without using the help of an avatar to pick it up and give it. In my case the whole operation needs to be scripted to work automatically.
Basically, I am trying to create a delivery system that will be able to auto-assemble a collection of objects, and then send that collection to an avatar in a different region. I don't mind if it arrives as a box they need to unpack or as a folder full of items in their inventory, but the whole thing has to be done only with scripting. I want it to arrive as one transaction, not have to have the avatar accept each piece individually.. that's why either packed box or inventory folder would work.
