select `ls -typ "animCurveTL" -typ "animCurveTU" -typ "animCurveTA" -typ "animCurveTT"`; gets just the curves that are animated - i.e. parameters that change over time  The 2 letters at the end specify imput and output units  input is Time or Unitless  output is Linear Unitless Angle or Time  - gotta admit, i never knew about the ls -typ "animCurve" catchall - thanks

//This script was written by Ben Bathen.  
//It was based on an idea presented By David Stripinis in his tutorial "Complex Character Setup In Maya For Games." 
//It was completed April 5, 2003.

//This script bakes all the weights from wrap deformers and lattices into a skincluster on a mesh.
//This is helpful because a wrap deformer can have alot less vertices than a high Res mesh.
//Also you can edit the geomety on the high res mesh at any time without losing your weighting.

//select the root, then select the mesh, then execute the script.  Works on only one mesh at a time.
