+    many thanks for all the great replies.  while I
now understand the fundamental impracticality
of loading a [full POV scene file] into a full-blown
modeller, I still consider it a generally useful idea.
Perhaps POV-Ray would consider implementing a [retrograde]
viewer/modeller with the pov distribution itself ?
     For the purpose I've tried to explain, even a
wireframe view would work... anything which would allow
real-time adjustment of objects/lights... it need not
be a full render view.

     Does this sound any more practical / do-able ?

thanks
