Hi people :)

I've put together a little articulated system and now wish to apply =
torque forces to various parts of it. But I'd like the torque forces to =
act at the joints/pivots, rather then through the center of mass of each =
object. Any suggestions on how this can be accomplished?

thanks
  Henri
