thanks Bill,
worked even better when I changed "shown" to 1 !

One other quickie...I have noticed that when I use the "Horizon
Objects" (background), the stars all change to the color of the NSEW
(color=32,32,32). [ I have commented out all of the objects (in
Horizon.dat) except NSEW, by the way. ]
When I get rid of the horizon objects, the stars all return to
white.
Somewhere the colors are not being reset...but I cant put my finger
on where???
thanks in advance,
Randy
