3.5b1 is not MegaPOV. The isosurface syntax is significantly different.
If you were to fix the "color or vector number" problem you'd still fall
foul of the fact that 3.5 doesn't have a "method" keyword. You may need
to learn how to write isosurfaces all over again.

As it happens, my isosurface tutorial page has just been updated to
include 3.5b1 and might help you to learn the new syntax.
