"It traces a ray beginning at the point A in the direction specified by
the vector B."

If B was a point vector, and the direction was that from A to B, then
wouldn't you *indirectly* be specifying the direction by the vector B?
Maybe not, but it's easy to get confused. Is it really impossible to be
just a bit more understanding? it's not like he's the first to get
confused by it, so that might indicate that it's easy to get confused by
indeed.

Anyway Xilo, B is a direction, so if you want the ray to go downwards,
you should simply specify <0,-1,0> (or -y) regardless of what the
StartRay point is.
