I got one helpful response and two that asked me to forward answers, so
I figured a summary was in order.  My original question was...

>Here's a tough order to fill:  I'm looking for a program that can plot points
>(no connections between them necessary) in three dimensions and then allow me
>to rotate the whole shebang to any viewing orientation I might like.  Points
>could be input as either X,Y,Z or spherical coordinates.

The helpful response was from  Scott Sutherland (sutherla@qtp.ufl.edu), who
pointed me towards the "AnimBalls" program on Fish Disk 157.
From the Fish description:

	A nifty little animation program that allows you to create a
	collection of balls in 3D space and then interactively rotate them in
	real time using the mouse.  Includes source.

Scott claims to have had up to 50 balls on-screen at once.  I haven't had
time to play with it, but AnimBalls (perhaps with some work) looks like it
might fill my display requirements.
