Ok, I have a program in BASIC that I'm using to generate
random numbers for a sphere_sweep, that looks like:

randomize timer
for n=1 to 23
   theta%=(rnd*36)*20
   r = rnd*0.24
   x = r*COS(theta%)
   y = r*SIN(theta%)
   z = (rnd*0.5)+1.25
   ? USING "X = +#.#####  Y = +#.#####  Z = +#.#####";x,y,z
next n

now, instead of running this program and entering the
values by hand in my sphere_sweep, how do I make a
macro in POV to generate a series of n points for the
sphere_sweep?
