        Hi Halbert,
                           I understand every word, Halbert. You have
described it well. The thing that I don't understand, however, is what you
actually do? On the help pages it says that you type in  +a, and other
things, but 'where' do you type these commands? Or is it a command 'off
screen', I hope that you understand what I am trying to say.
      If it is 'on screen', then where in your 'recipe/formula', (is there
another word?), do you put it? At the beginning? At the end? I'm sorry for
asking this, but I am at a loss as to what to do, even after reading through
the help pages.

    I'm glad that you liked it Halbert. Getting that last sphere, (the one
on the bottom left as you look at it), was a nightmare!!  My stomach was
'buttering with flutterby's' when I finally did the last render 'knowing' it
was going to be in place, or was it? ;o)   50/50 with me at the moment!

         Thanks, ~Steve~
