Thanks Ken.

Using OVERPLOT puts two surfaces in one plot...which would probably be
the exact thing i would want to do in most cases. For this one case
though, i need to have two different plots in the same itool. I can
probably get by with just rotating one, then rotating the other
without too much fuss - it's for a live demo, though, so i thought
it'd be slick to have the two plots rotating at the same time when you
just use the mouse on one - going for style points here :)
