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
