Thanks for your explanations, Kyle. Very useful. I take back my comment
about the trunk's color: I seem to have an * ideal* image in my mind of what
it would look like. Not having palms at hand here, though.... :-)
I think your macro would be very interesting. Have had a look at the palm
tree provided by Gena Obukhov in his POV-Tree java utility? That probably is
another, different, type.
Keep up the good work! (even on the backburner!)
