YAY!

Thanks Christoph!

I suddenly realised that the .pov file is just a text file! So I just fired
it up in Wordpad, did what I had to do and did a quick render in POV-ray
without having to load it in the editor - brilliant!

Still get the degenerate triangles though... Seems VMD is not doing an
optimal job (?). Do I need to worry about getting rid of them? Is there a
simple program that can do this?

Many thanks in advance!
