Hi All
    I used Moray to create a hollow glass sphere and then put a purple
one inside. This experiment rendered a black screen (yes i had a light
and camera). Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Please post your source code, Allen.  You may have inadvertantly run
across the feature in POV-Ray that encloses everything in a large Black
Bounding Box to protect the image constituents from being distorted as
they are created.  Freshly created objects, while they are still at <0,
0, 0> are subject to phase distortion from the inability of POV-Ray to
incorporate the Infinite Improbability Algorhythm inside MS Foundation
Class (including the entire trilogy AND the Mule).

This, as you are aware, is a function of the derived quadratic that
controls such instantiations as "Where is that stooped and mealy
coloured old man I used to call Papa when the Merry-Go-Round broke
Down?" and any RGB value above 0xFFFFE00A0000.

Is this clear?

The MULE, ( Most Unusual Luminous Entity), was an Asmovian gaseous
anomoly and Bass is full of hot air or simply insane - Everybody knows
0xFFFFFE00A0000 rendered backwards sounds like Paul is dead. Way off
in the distance is the sound of Chickens chasing down Colonel Sanders.
"Get him !! Get him !! he's finger licking good !!", they seem to be
saying. 
Aunty Em!. Aunty Em! There's no place like home, There's no place like

I'll have you know that I am full of hot air AND complexly (!) insane. 
Jeez, I love English.  Besides, I figured someone else would bring up
good old max_trace_level.  Sometimes girls just want to have fun.

I am not a girl.

Imoved the two spheres away from the origin and they rendered as expected.
Thanks.
