yeah I forgot to rewrite it and save, I've been using the uppercase when I
rewrite things. I've just got 2 problems, lack of understanding of the language
and poor trouble shooting the language to fix errors. like for example the
newest error,

object{ intersection{ object{txt} object{cap} } translate <0,0,-0.05>
pigment{tcolour} }

"C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\POV-Ray\v3.7\include\cap.inc" line
34: Parse Error: Expected 'object', undeclared identifier 'txt' found instead

I would assume the txt is supposed to be the name of an object, similar to the
object{cap}, since it seems to be asking for an object, rather then text.
Chances are I'm way off though.

On another note, where did all you wonderful and helpful people learn this
stuff?

Be carefull when renameing, something may need to refer to the name later :-)

txt was the declared name of a text object in line 30, see above. If you renamed
it, you'll need to rename this one to.
object{ intersection{ object{Txt}.... or whatever you used.

line 30   #local Txt = text{ttf "handelgo.ttf",value,40,0
scale<diam/3,diam/3,diam/3> translate<-diam/1.5,diam,-20>}

line 34 object{ intersection{ object{txt} object{cap} } translate <0,0,-0.05>
pigment{tcolour} }

so basically I need to copy the handlego.ttf and place it in the txt location?

No, you need to change "object{txt}" in line 34 to "object{Txt}" to match up
with the name you used in line 30.

ok you stephen have completely lost me...

line 30 doesn't mention an object...this is the entire snipet of code.

#macro CAP_DIS_CERAMIC_DISK_GRND(diam1,value,leadspc,bcolour,tcolour)
#local diam = diam1/2;
 #local cap = object {superellipsoid{<1, 1>scale<diam,diam*0.25,diam>rotate
<-90,-7.5,0>translate<0,diam*1.1,0>} }
 (this is line 30) #local Txt = text{ttf "handelgo.ttf",value,40,0
scale<diam/3,diam/3,diam/3> translate<-diam/1.5,diam,-20>}
 #local leg = object{ cylinder {  <0,diam*0.2,0>,<0,-10.0>,0.25
texture{col_silver}}}
 #local ls2 = leadspc/2 ;
 union{
  (this is line 34) object{ intersection{ object{txt} object{cap} } translate
<0,0,-0.05> pigment{tcolour} }
  object {cap pigment{bcolour}}
  difference{
   torus { leadspc/2, 0.25 rotate -90*x  pigment{bcolour} }
   box { <-leadspc,0,0.5>, <leadspc,-leadspc,-0.5> }
   translate <0,diam*0.2,0>
  }
  object{ leg translate<-ls2,0,0> }
  object{ leg translate< ls2,0,0> }
  translate <0,0,0>
  pigment{bcolour}
 }
#end

could it be something in one of these other lines?

object{ intersection{ object{Txt} object{cap} } translate > <0,0,-0.05>
pigment{tcolour} }

Rework line 34, it should have "Txt"

Carry on :-)

You may want to read parts of the POV-Ray help file, section 3.4.1.13 Text

ok I've read that section, I'm still not sure why I'm getting the error.

"C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\POV-Ray\v3.7\include\cap.inc" line
34: Parse Error: Expected 'object', undeclared identifier 'txt' found instead

it says it is expecting an object not text...but what object?

object{ intersection{ object{txt} object{cap} } translate <0,0,-0.05>
pigment{tcolour} }

I'm still extremely new to this thing. The math alone gives me a migraine. I've
never studied quadratic equations in school.

Everyone starts new.

From the 'snipet of code'
box{} is an object
superellipsoid{} is an object
torus{} is an object
....and yes
text{} is an object

From 3.2.2.2.1 of the help file, you can #declare (or #local) an object
identifier.

 From the snipet of code
#local Txt = text{ttf "handelgo.ttf",value,40,0 scale<diam/3,diam/3,diam/3>
translate<-diam/1.5,diam,-20>}

Txt is now equal to the "text{...}" object

On line 34 you now want to use this identifier, they must be spelled the same,
including capitals.

By asking questions here, by going trough the tutorial, reading the 
documentations and trying the samples given.
Also, by hand coding your scenes and rendering and modifying the samples 
scenes.

In the documentation included with POV-Ray. In Windows, go to the Help menu. 
The whole documentation is of course included with POV-Ray. There you can 
see what correct syntax for POV-Ray looks like.
