Also, I believe I remember correctly that gvim (which runs under X)
/does/ treat .inc files like .pov files, so the answer is probably not
too far away...  I'm trying to get myself 'weaned' from dependence on a
GUI, but I'm taking it one step at a time.

/usr/share/vim/syntax/syntax.vim should contain lines that look like this:

  " Povray
  au BufNewFile,BufRead *.pov,*.inc             so $VIM/syntax/pov.vim

or at least it does on my system.  But I don't use vim, so I don't know 
whether that works.

Great!  Sounds like the right sort of thing! I'm printing your response
out right now so I can take it home to a real computer.  (I'm on a Win98
box at work now, and should of course actually BE working... ;-) )
Many thanks.

Here's a possibly dumb idea -- could I create a symlink from the .inc to
the .pov file and 'fool' vim into treating it accordingly?  I.e., ln -s
ceiling.inc ceiling.pov   ?

Sure, but why not just call it ceiling.pov then?  It's not as though the
#include statement will care.

Oh, I didn't know it wouldn't care.... Well, then! That's a camel of a
different gait! ( a little less bumpy ride)

OK, then my next (stupid) question is (you can tell I haven't read that
section of the manual lately):
when making the include statements, if the .pov file (which used to be
the .inc file) is not in the same dir. as all the other .inc files which
come with POVRay, do I explicitly state the path like so:
#include ~/ceiling.pov  

or had I better move the ceiling.pov file to /usr/share/povray where all
the other stuff is?
