I am using the TMD documentation from the yaroze site to dynamically
create TMD objects.  I can create all possible polygon primitives but
cannot create line or 3D sprite primitives.  When I attempt this I get a
nasty 'code not supported' error with a return value the same as the
mode value of the primitive header I am trying to create?  For example a
return value of 0x40 for a straight line with no gradation.

Also, when I set the FCE bits for the flag component of the primitive
header it does not force my polygons to be 2 sided - why?
