Hi Russ!
Try
\!\(<< Graphics`ContourPlot3D`\n
ContourPlot3D[
x\^2\/16 - y\^2\/25 - 2\ z, {x, \(-4\), 4}, {y, \(-5\), 5}, {z,
\(-4\),
4}, BoxRatios \[Rule] {1, 1, 1}]; \n
Print[\*"\"\<\!\(x\^2\/16\)-\!\(y\^2\/25\)- 2 z= 0\>\""]\) You may
also want to take a look at my web page
http://www.cdj.itesm.mx/mathematica/mathematica.html and pick the
subject "Superficies" from the index.
I hope this helps
