I attached a piece of wire frame to show what I'm talking about.

Wow, thanks.

The macros I made for this aren't very versatile. The vertices require from
three to as many as 12 triangles to figure their normals, so unless a mesh
is constructed exactly like mine, they will not help much.
I wrote a macro that takes an n-by-n array (mesh_array[columns][rows]) and
writes out a #mesh2 macro with normals. If this would help with your
heightfield work, I would be glad to clean it up and send it to you tonight.
Let me know.
