Nice work, Richard.
So what are you doing that I didn't?
Because as you can see above/below, I'm using 3.8

[after light_source]
White = <1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 0.000, 0.000>
"C:\Users\Mini\Documents\POV-Ray\v3.8-beta\scenes\_CodeScratchPad.pov" line 13:
Parse Warning: Expected pure RGB color expression,
unexpected filter and transmit components will have no effect.

Are you outputting the color value with vstr(), or performing a render using
that light source?

I'm just trying to understand where this all goes off the rails, and where to
look under the hood.
