That worked Slime.  Thanks for the help again.  Here is a link to the
results:

I need to raise the AA a bit.  However I still don't understand why the
light_group idea didn't work.  And I'm also confused by "2.3.6.3  Simple
media examples".  In their first example they have a light source and a
tranparent container with "rgbt 1".  Isn't that the same as rgbt
<1,1,1,something> where the something is 1?  I'm sure I'm missing
something.

Just wanting to understand.

Thanks again for all the help guys,
Carl
