ok, i'm still not having any luck but i wanted to give an update.
i thought i would at least hack a bit and see if something just
fell out.

i converted the bee.3ds that came with 3DWin into an include
file.  no object file anywhere to be found in it.  i then looked at
the size of the numbers in the include file and made a guess
at a camera and lighting config:
***********************************
camera
  {
    location <80,80,80>
    look_at 0
    angle 30
  }
light_source
  { <100,100,100> White
  }
***********************************
and then i cut and pasted everything in the include file
down below this.  pretty dumb, huh?  it rendered solid
black.

alright!  i got a pretty good idea why it rendered black...
the include file looks to be nothing but a bunch of declares.
i'm rendering black cuz there's no darned objects in the
pic!

so what do i do to get a renderable picture out of the
include file?

thanks again, miker
