Thanks. I think :)
I find myself struggling a bit more these days. Our second child is due
any day and with work, projects at home, a very pregnant wife and a
"spirited" 17 month old, focus is fleeting.
If only I could write an IDL program to listen to my wife complain about
dub-ya, public transit, traffic, co-workers, her pregnant body, dub-ya's
administration... or one to drywall and paint, or to help my son sleep
I would be doing much better!

Speaking strictly for myself, I find it refreshing to
find an expert struggling out in the open. It reminds
me that this is *always* how it is done, whether you
are an expert or not. It's a lonely business, and the
experts are the ones who persist the longest.
Off to get a cup of that Kona Koffee and watch the sun
come up over the ocean! :-)
Cheers,
David

LOL.
So seconds after I posted this I jumped back into IDL and lookee there
in the console output:
% RHTGRCAMERA::ADD: Objects must be, or be subclasses of IDLgrModel
Yes. I didn't put my light in a model. When I *do* add the light to a
model all is well.
Nothing to see here. Move along....
<sigh>
off to get a cup of coffee
