Thanks Rarius! I'll post a copy sometime later today. Meanwhile I'll also try to
use your suggestions. Its not that many spheres really. I strongly suspect I've
a coding inefficiency somewhere. Probably a blunder; I'm sort of a povray
newbie.

In fact, the render time is "LARGE" only relatively. Its a few seconds really
but that becomes slow when (a) I start thinking in terms of designing a GUI (b)
when I have a string of molecular images to render in an interactive setup.

BTW, I'm pleasantly surprised to see that many other posters actually thought
raytracing might be the *fastest* option around!
