I'm very sorry for this very new user question, but at first I though
povray3.5 for linux didn't come with documentation simply because there
was no directories named "doc" or something like that, instead it was
named "povray-3.4.99.5" inside my pov archive...  anyway, the html
manual is very neat and I've been able to find exactly what I was
looking for!

One very simple question about "trace", quoting the manual: "If the ray
hits the specified object, this function returns the coordinate where
the ray intersected the object."  But what if there is more than one
intersection?  Does it returns the first intersection?

Thanks a lot!
  Simon
