Since installing beta 1, I have made a *few* notes to myself as to the
changes/problems/backtracking I have run across (and a few solutions)-- but they
are spread out among disparate scene files...and I sometimes have to painfully
re-discover what I had already written :-/

Maybe Bald Eagle has been compiling such a list-- as part of his own
'encyclopedic' spreadsheet of POV-ray hints-and-tips and newsgroup links!
(--hint hint --)

BTW: In the world of computing, is there an actual standardized *name* for
    /*  or  */   ??
In my current scene comments, I have been writing "slash-and-asterik" -- so that
I don't inadvertently create yet *another* strange coding error by using /*
instead! But that surely gets cumbersome to write again and again.
