Now that I've had stirred you lets see if I can get an answer to what is
surely an annoyingly simple question.

But, just for the record, as marvelous as Povray may be - and it seems
as thought if might be fun - the developers of it clearly suffer from
the same disease most others suffer from - they can produce a great
program, but why on earth cant they produce a clear, simple how to use
file!?!?!?!
And therein lies the source of greatest annoyance...

Having created a text object standing on a plane with a black background
I aspired to produce a star in the sky - one star, not a mass...
And, of course, the help files refer to stars but not how to create one
(unless I am blind - this is possible, stupidity and blindness often go
hand in hand).
I also following many resource links including finding many starry
efforts - but no instructions, no one star.
My abortive efforts at trying to strangle reason out of the stars.inc
stuff only succeeded in getting the camera to look at one star - but
through the legs of the letters of my text!

How do I create ONE star in the sky, whilst keeping my text object in
place?

Obviously head spinningly simple - but I'm stuffed if I can figure it
out!!!
All responses gratefully welcomed.
