I wrote a macro that makes a beveled box of any size (and bevel) with a
different specified texture for the faces and the bevels. If you use two
different colors, it gives a funky, folded-paper sort of look. I'm not
positive the colors will stay this way, I just like the look.

I had been using file IO to do this, but now I see that Tim Nikias uses
arrays, which might be an interesting thing to try. At the moment, though,
I really have to get to school ;)
