  The povray docs have an entire section devoted to detailing the
reserved keywords that is uses as instructions. It should not be
too difficult to locate but it certainly takes quite a while to
remember them all (or the majority of them). I thought I had heard
them all but the "floor" keyword floored me when I read Nathans
reply to you. What the word floor has to with math operators is
anyones guess but it is in the list. I guess it's time "I" RTFM !
  You can easily avoid any chance of having this happen again if you
always make sure your #declare identifiers are capitolized in the
first letter. You could have #declare Floor and be all right and I
often see #declare Sphere which is also exceptable because of the
capitolization of the first letter.
