Aha, that explains my problems. But it seems like 'rotate' works, because the glow
in the follow-spotlight moves with the object when I rotate it. Which I'm happy
for :-)

I'm using the latest version of MacMegaPov, if that helps.

Sounds great!
Talking about things like this, is there any chance that you'll update your
webpage with a progress report on your programming projects? Several of your ideas
sounds extremely interesting, and I check in there frequently to see if anything
has been released. I'm especially interesten in any news on your "DF3 Sculptor".

Oh, well. For now it seems easier to place them out by hand. But thanks for the
tip. This is the first time ever that I've tried the Glow thing, and if I need to
use it again, I will use it in a macro.

Thank you for your quick reply!
