Wow that was quick :) Thanks for the help! ONE more thing, if you can 
help me (I forgot to mention this after I posted it). the Pov-Ray DOC 
(thank God for it) mentions about phasing pigments and such. However, 
I'm having a problem doing it. I've done it before, but it wasn't fast 
enough, so I upped the clock value: 

sphere{
 <0, 0, 0>
 15
 pigment{ 
  bozo
  color_map{
  [0 rgb <1, 1, 1>]
  [1 rgb <0, 0, 0>]
  }
 phase (clock*4)
 }
}

but the AVI didn't show much. What I am wondienrg is how to properly 
achive something like a realistic water texture (using a pigment and 
*NOT* normal, as the reflection of objects goes to crap) that 
ripples....

Thanks again for your help, hope I'm not being too annoying :)
