Yes many thanks, that has helped enormously. I think I will be able to use
geomview for my project after discovering the 'scene' command.
Is there any more documentation on the rules for using 'scene'. What you say
about it seems to hold, but the entry in the manual is very terse and
unrevealing.

Many thanks for your original reply,
