Hi Dennis,

  This type of question really should be made in the moray.windows group on
this news server. This group (povray.binaries.images) is for posting images
you have made and getting comments and criticisms. Discussions on technique
should always go to a non-binary group. You more likely to get an appropriate
answer in the moray group as this is a feature that is not directly supported
in POV-Ray itself.

  Secondly we respectfully request that you turn off HTML when posting on
this news server. We prefer plain text as it consumes less server resources
for other things.

  When you get the time stop by povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions
and read the announcements in that group. It shouldn't take long to skim
through the handful of messages there and you will get more out of the
server if you take the time to read them.

Cheers,
