Subject: Is there a way to quicky remove "shininess" from all shaders in a poser figure?

I've been doing a lot of work with poser figures, and most textures for poser characters in carrara have a "shininess" value of 5 to 30 percent.  Is there a way to select a figure and automatically set all the shaders (ie head shader, body shader, forearm shader) shininess values to zero?  I'm thinking maybe some form of MAT pose file?

 Actually, if you choose the main skin shader and adjust the shininess to what you like, you can then go into the full character shader tree and replace the shaders for the other body parts that use the same texture map with a Reference Shader. It takes a minute or two but then when you adjust the master shader that all of the other Reference Shaders subscribes to, the change to everything is instantaneous.

I just now noticed that Carrara 5 pro has this feature.  All this time...

For some reason I thought it was new just with Carrara 6.
