Sorry - thought I was clear.  You know when you add a 2D image and add a
light, the image becomes black?  Then you have to change accept lights to
off and the image reappears.  The appearance is that you are changing it TO
accept lights since now you can see it.

Just not understanding what's really happening there.

Eric
