I know I (probably) need the matrix keyword (I'm not *that* new to POV).
Problem is, I am not good in math either. So far I was able to match the
texture to the cylinder, but by shearing it and not rotating it. Thanks for
the URL, though. I'll be surfing in a sec, hope it helps.

though I'm having problems with LAAEFTR, being absolutely new (a week or so)
in the 'Net :( Not being that good in math either, I would guess the ... in
atan2(..) should be replaced with ...?

Left As An Exercise For The Reader. Not really a net thing, more of a math
thing. And the ...'s are English, not math, for "fill this part in
yourself."

Checked the site, it's great! Suits me just fine. 10x for the info.
Happy tracing.

Facing the threat of flaming someone by repeatedly asking stupid questions,
what scalar values should I enter for the three atan2 fxns? Two months and I
still can't figure it out :(

I haven't tested this, and I'm not sure it's quite right. In particular,
the terms inside the atan2 might be different than I have here. For example,
where I have DY, you might really need -DY. If it doesn't work, try
different combinations of signs. I'm also assuming that the axis of your
texture lies along the +Y axis.

OK, I'll try that tomorrow (today, by local time). I have an exam in eight
hours, so I won't bother you again for at least 24 hours :) Anyway, +Y it
is, and I'll just write a #while to check all combinations at once.

The solution key is to realize you need to set one coordinate in the
first rotation, leaving two to the other leg of the triangle, then
set one of the remaining, leaving the third to the other leg of the
second triangle.
One of 3 possibilities (for x->y->z ordering) (not debugged) :
#declare RX = degrees ( atan2 ( DZ, vlength( <DX, DY, 0> ) ) );
#declare RY = degrees ( atan2 ( DX, DY ) );
rotate <RX, RY, 0>

Correction (sorry...) :
#declare RY = degrees ( atan2 ( DX, DZ) );

Perhaps something like the below file will fit your needs; the syntax
(after including the file) is as follows (note that standard brackets
() are used, not {} braces):
Textured_Cylinder (<Base Point>, <Cap Point>, Radius, texture {...})
or:
Textured_Disc (<Centre>, <Normal>, Radius, texture {...})
where the texture {...} is aligned as desired along the +y axis. Other
shapes can be textured using the Fit_Texture_to_Cylinder macro, eg:
cone {<-5, -4, -2>, 2, <5, 4, 1>, 1 open
Fit_Texture_to_Cylinder (MyTexture, <-5, -4, -2>, <5, 4, 1>, 2)}
One thing to note - I've had to write out the second atan2 () function
in the first macro in full (it looks as though the fix I sent the
POV-Team got somewhat lost in the translation!), to avoid the irritating
Domain Error crash.
// -- CylTex.inc -----------------------------
#macro Fit_Texture_to_Cylinder (cyltexture, point1, point2, cylradius)
#local _CT_axis = (point2 - point1) * <1, 1, 1>;
#if (vlength(_CT_axis) = 0) texture {cyltexture} #else
#local _CT_rotx = degrees(atan2(vlength(_CT_axis * <1, 0, 1>), _CT_axis.y));
#if (_CT_axis.x = 0) #if (_CT_axis.z >= 0) #local _CT_roty = 0; #else #local
_CT_roty = 180; #end
#else #if (_CT_axis.z = 0) #if (_CT_axis.x > 0) #local _CT_roty = 90; #else
#local _CT_roty = -90; #end
#else #local _CT_roty = degrees(atan2(_CT_axis.x, _CT_axis.z)); #end #end
texture {cyltexture
scale <cylradius, vlength(_CT_axis), cylradius>
rotate <_CT_rotx, _CT_roty, 0>
translate point1}
#end
#end
#macro Textured_Cylinder (point1, point2, cylradius, cyltexture)
cylinder {point1, point2, cylradius
Fit_Texture_to_Cylinder (cyltexture, point1, point2, cylradius)}
#end
#macro Textured_Disc (disccentre, discnormal, discradius, disctexture)
disc {disccentre, discnormal, discradius
Fit_Texture_to_Cylinder (disctexture, disccentre, disccentre + discnormal,
discradius)}
#end
