Thanks to both. Well I am using this code but it is a very abstract scene
and I can't really tell where the camera "should"be. I think I was trying to
confirm that the value in parenths correlated to the time points along the
spline. Normally I wouldn't think of them as time points per se - more as
just locations or coordinates  (not sure of the proper term) for the spline.
But you have confirmed my understanding.
Thanks again,
D.
