Hey Samuel can you tell me why I loose part of the first few characters?
see code below

Leef_me




camera {
//        orthographic
        location <0,0,-10.5> look_at <0,0,0>
}


light_source { <-10,-7,-40> color rgb 1}

light_source { <1,0,-1.5> color rgb 1}


// Create an infinite sphere around scene and allow any pigment on it
sky_sphere {
  pigment {
    gradient y
    color_map { [0.0 color rgb <0.7,0.7,1.0>] [1.0 color blue 0.5] }
  }
}


// using text as a pigment on a plane, original code was in response to text
on a cylinder

       pigment{
