Your height field has no pigment. Try:

 Height_Field {gif "d:\fract001.gif" pigment{rgb<1/2,1/1/2>}}

(the background is irrelevant - that is a seperate object).

You have an extra "}" bracket...you should always make sure your 
brackets match up, a "}" for every "{".

Oops, that should have been:

 Height_Field {gif "d:\fract001.gif" pigment{rgb<1/2, 1, 1/2>}}

... but presumably it's still black (or have you added a pigment statement
as well as removing the }?)

ack, scrap that last message. I hadn't taken in that you'd still got a
problem. Yep, case is wrong. And none of us spotted it. The shame. The
ignomy.

I noticed it right away but RWard caught it before I could correct your
major blunder. After that it wasn't worth it...

Who is this? What have you done with Ken? Ken wouldn't have taken 4 hours to
have read a post....

Oh, yeah, 2001 - I'd forgotten about the delay between here and Jupiter
(plus, of course, your radar dish is behaving funny). Hi Ken. Big kiss to
David and the gang.
