Oops, now I'm really embarrassed.

Yes, maybe something like on the modify tab.

That's true, but now that I think of it, what's needed is "local 
coordinates" for the mesh itself.

When this has happened to me, I gave up and found a different way to do it. 
The last time was when using B-spline with spheres and cylinders. Here's a 
quick way I just tried that will show you what I mean: make a sphere with 24 
divisions; use "Convert to Wireframe" on it; in the duplicate dialogue 
create 9 copies of the wireframe group, with references. This slows mine 
down so much that I would not want to proceed any further.

Me too.

Thank you,
