Yes! You are correct, and -3 works.

Next challenge:
I would like to read in a series of files starting with fig001.tga and
ending with fig100.tga

But whereas I would use "clock*100" in most cases, that does not work in the
string:

concat("d:\\povray\\penfilter\\fig", str(clock*100,-3,0), ".tga")

I assume the multiplier (*) is read as text? or maybe clock? (That may not
be true...) But could you suggest a way to read in the sequence of images
from 001 to 100?
Thanks again very much,
Dennis
