Here's a question I have along the same lines--There are some options
for Plot3D that I would like to be able to use with ParametricPlot3D, or,
more generally, I would like to pass options between different plotting
commands. Is there any way to do this? (If more clarity is needed, I can 
post a specific option I'd like to carry over to ParametricPlot3D.)
