Attach bones from one model 2 another?

[svdelle]

It says in the manual that it's possible to 'lend' bones from another object by selecting the 'lending' object ...

BONES FROM ANOTHER OBJECT
You can borrow the bones from another object by selecting the
lending object in the Use Bones From Object pop-up menu.

I can't seem to get to that dialog box when I select a model that has no bones (that's the whole damn reason I wanna 'lend' bones from another object in the first place ... !?!?!!)

Any hints to what's going on here!?

select the object switch to bones mode "B" hit propertys "P" you should see "use bones from object" on top.
have fun
