I appreciate your help with this. For the record, I patterned my code
after the official Windows POV insert menu. If you look at the insert
menu's entry for "area light" you will see a line that contains this:

    <8, 0, 0> <0, 0, 8>

I simply changed the 8's to 40's, thinking all was well. Actually, I
did think the line looked a little odd, but I trusted the insert menu
to be correct. 

One final thought: You have a comma inserted between your vectors, but
the example in the insert menu does not. I wonder which is the most
proper syntax? I'll try both and find out, I guess.

thanks again,
Glen Berry
