Is it possible to lathe a straight 'board' where the lathing is in the
middle?  if so, how can I do it?

I have a feeling that you may need to reword your question before you
will recieve an answer. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish.

I was trying to describe a decorative molding that would go under the window
sill.  The first part of the molding has a slight curve then the second part
is slightly raised bout 1 cm or so and has a gentle curve like a small hill.
The third part is slight raised and is without a curve.

Is it possible to make a board that has a 45 degree at an end in order to
make a minor-joint corner?

To make moldings, you probably want to use a prism instead of a lathe.
(unless you're in rec.woodworking, where you'd use a shaper or a router
table, but still not a lathe.)

Assuming you mean miter-joint: yes.  Just intersect the prism from above with
a plane along the plane of the cut.

See the section in the manual that talks about CSG (Computational Solid
Geometry) for more details.

Ron....?

CSG = Constructive Solid Geometry

Of course.  Silly me.  Don't know what I was thinking.

Actually, what happened is that I read that version sometime 20 years ago in
some pop-science rag and never quite got it out of my head.
