Eh, no.
    What happened was due to my stupidity and the way POVRAY installs. I
installed 3.1 and saw that it didn't use the old insert file. So I deleted
it and reinstalled my old version. Not making backups. It over wrote my
insert file that I had worked on for years. So I reinstalled 3.1 so I could
use macro and have been trying to rebuild an insert menu.
    Now I have found a copy of my insert file which I carefully saved on a
different machine then promptly forgot. I want to convert it into separate
text files in proper directories to use in 3.1

    Hope that makes more sense....
