Alright, alright, you're right, I'm wrong, I'll back down! :-)   I
haven't yet 
had a chance to try povsdl2html.py -- I don't have python installed on
this particular
Windows machine.  
Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll shut up now.

Try SciTE (www.scintilla.org/scite) or vim (www.vim.org), both are
cross-platform, understand POV and can print in color and/or produce
HTML from your code.

Sounds great!  I already use vim on Linux and have POV syntax
highlighting.  
How much tweaking will be necessary to get the *Windows* vim ready to
roll with 
printing in color? ( I have a Lexmark X83 all-in-one, so printing from
Linux is,
I think, pretty much out of the question.  If anyone out there knows for
a fact 
that I'm wrong about that, I'd be glad to hear from you!)
