Hmmm,. yes it is V5.  With the mouse I shift-middle click on a point and 
then everything rotates about that point.  But the spaceball still continues 
to rotate about the model center rather than the point I just clicked.  Just 
wondered if there was a setting somewhere to fix that, because ATM that is 
the one thing that annoys me most :-)
