I was using trace mode and no background.  I was going to use the starfield
for the background (which worked for a single object)  I will try the full

liked it but I guess that won't always work.

I have to agree.  I was never able to do anything in turbo.
I can create a impressive but simple object and begin the trace in about 30
min. now.
