Super.  I'm looking forward to it.  I've already discovered that having
3 Netscape windows open while trying to render that file is a Bad Idea,
but I intend to run it (and read it) as soon as I've cleared the decks.

It's lovely for another reason:  POVWin 3.1 gives one of the funniest
warning messages I've ever seen:

	try2.pov:20: Warning: suspicious expression after rgbf

OK, expression, we're gonna keep an eye on you, so watch your step!

That's what happens when you have  rgbf<1,1,1> and you don't
have the fourth component in the color vector. This warning has
been around at least since v2.2.

Sorry, I should have mentioned it. Yes it is suspicious, but it works as
intended.

No apologies necessary.  I found the message delightful, and the
grass itself is extremely cool, though I haven't figured out yet
why it works.

And btw, Ken, unless I've lost my ability to count, the line in
question was:

	color rgbf SomeColor*<1,1,1,.001>

where the resultant color isn't a cross product (whatever that might
mean for a color) but rather the color values multipled, one by one
by the values in the second vector -- a very cool trick I took note
of and no doubt will use some day.
