Damn, didn't expected such confusion, I have to formulate my question 
better. :-))

What I wanted is a function like "rotate 90*x" but for "x" an arbitary 
vector.


your name the right way?) I took a look at transforms.inc where there is 
a macro "Axis_Rotate_Trans(Axis, Angle)" which does exactly this.

So again rtfm! :-)

you can have fast preview what each include file contains if you install my
Insert Menu Bonus Pack (http://www.abx.art.pl/pov/bonus/pack.php)
(oh, you are using linux ? then convert structure of directiories with txt
files in this package into one file)
