hahaha.  ok.  thanks ron.  that wasn't exactly what i had in
mind but i think it comes close to answering my question.
i wished for the plane to stay right where it was on the x/z
plane... i just wanted the line where it vanished into the
horizon to be higher, without juggling the camera.  i am
going to assume now that the horizon line can only be
adjusted by either adjusting the camera or the plane.

thanks, miker
