Thanks!  The comments on style are something I hadn't considered; you're
probably right. I think I was "too close" to the technical workings of the
code to see that. Especially after all the tweaking I had to do, hour after
hour! (Even a supposedly simple experiment has a way of becoming complex.
Ah, but that's the power of POV-Ray...being able to change anything at
will.)

BTW, sorry for the glaring capital letters in the title of this post; a
cut-and-paste error. Didn't mean to announce my little experiment with such
fanfare!  ;-)
