You mean, like "scale <1,1,-1>"? ;)

(You can also write "scale -z", but the compiler will warn you because, although
both you and the compiler know what it is meant to do, it is strictly not the
same. Taken literally, it would reduce your object to one infinitely thin
line... of course POV is clever enough to know that this is quite definitely
not what you want :))
