[ODE] body positions

[Lewis Foster]

Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it. It really was as basic as i thought
it might be, oh well.

Does anyone know of any more complicated simulation examples that I can take
a look at? It would be really useful to see how people with alot of
experience do things.
