OK, now I see what you're doing.  Sorry, I've been working in Moray exclusivley
and am not as quick to grasp Pov script as I would like to be.  I have started
to study the Moray-generated Pov file after every scene modification and I'm
gradually becoming enlightened.  Thanks for your help!

I need to work with the lighting some more, but I will probably wait until all
the scene elements are in place.  I add something, adjust the lights, and then
add something else and have to adjust the lights again.  Very frustrating!
