all works nice under beta.2, again, thank you both.  but..  </grin>

I tried the code with WFP's yuqk branch/fork and got problems.

Gio's code takes advantage of "lax parsing" (in the POV-Rays) where WFP has
"tightened up" the parser, ie 'reflection'.

Maetes cleaned that up, but his code hits a problem in another area, "fog",
aptly enough :-).  I think (from the documentation) that is a "work in progress"
area in yuqk, and so may be of interest to the author too.

I've pasted the respective error messages below.


regards, jr.
