OK, the lighting is definitely much less confusing now, and it's much easier
to do the rotations.
About the spheres not joining properly: are you applying the surface normal
averaging at the dat file level, or at the part level? If you're doing it
at the part level, then the spheres should look smooth, since the points
should be the same on type 5 lines along the edge as the quads that adjoin
those lines. If you're doing it at the DAT file level, it would explain the
behavior, though.
