Oh.  Well, I had tried to do a "test run" on a square (mesh of 2
triangles) but I had assigned only one texture to the whole mesh,
like so:
mesh {
	triangle {1}
	triangle {2}
	texture { Col_Glass_Winebottle}
}

and it worked like that!  Why does it let me use a color identifier as a
texture for the whole mesh, but not for the ind. triangles?  That doesn't
really make sense to me.  The docs could have been a little clearer on
that point, if you ask me....
Thanks -- you've saved me >some< head-banging.  ;-)
