I should have clarified, to use the source snippet posted you need
MegaPOV.

As Chris rightly says you can get the same effect using emission and
absorption (I've done it that way in the past), but using the new
emission type in MegaPOV reduces the requirements of brain CPU cycles
:-)

[And I'm trying desperately not to upset Chris because his
implementation of Glows in MegaPOV is one of my favourite features,
thanks Chris.]
