No, I just used the light object instead of a brick object, using the same
matrix.
Example (long lines):
// object { _179_dot_dat matrix <1-SW/20,0,0,0,1-SW/12,0,0,0,1-SW/20,0,SW/6,0>
matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,330,-88,-170> #if (version >= 3.1) material #else
texture #end { Color46 } }
replaced by:
object { light_point matrix <1-SW/20,0,0,0,1-SW/12,0,0,0,1-SW/20,0,SW/6,0>
matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,330,-88,-170>}

Of course, I can mail it to you if that's OK? (It's 619K !! unzipped but
probably much smaller when compressed - is there a lugnet.attachments?)

<rgbF> Beats me. I just search the POV scene language documentation and find
something which I try. Now you've forced me to read through it again &%#&

OK, I looked it up, and the F means 'filter', T 'transmit', and you can
combine all of it into a five parameter rgbFT <r, g, b, f, t> if you want.
<quote from docs>
The 4th component, called filter, specifies the amount of filtered
transparency of a substance. Some real-world examples of filtered transparency
are stained glass windows or tinted cellophane. The light passing through such
objects is tinted by the appropriate color as the material selectively absorbs
some frequencies of light while allowing others to pass through. The color of
the object is subtracted from the light passing through so this is called
subtractive transparency.
The 5th component, called transmit, specifies the amount of non-filtered light
that is transmitted through a surface. Some real-world examples of
non-filtered transparency are thin see-through cloth, fine mesh netting and
dust on a surface. In these examples, all frequencies of light are allowed to
pass through tiny holes in the surface. Although the amount of light passing
through is diminished, the color of the light passing through is unchanged.
The color of the object is added to the light passing through so this is
called additive transparency.

So it really sounds like rgbF is what we want.
