  Smooth triangles?

Hi

A few days ago I posted a thread about making a spiral, and decided to make
a to write a smooth_triangle mesh. The problem is it ain't smooth. As I
understand it, the normal vectors are just directional and their magnitude
doesn't matter (is this assumption correct?) so <0,1,0> has the same value
in terms of normals as <0,10,0>?

thanks
jim
