Hi Alex, I tried to reply to your previous query but your email address
didn't work.
The way to keep those pesky light sources fixed is, leave them alone, leave
ViewPoint alone, and rotate the object itself into its desired positions,
using the RotateShape function in the Graphics Shapes package.--Russell
