Hi John,
According to the online documentation, "ParametricPlot3D[{a, a, a, s}, â?¦
] shades the plot according to the color specification s." You can use
this fourth argument to modify more than just the color, however. For
instance,
In[1]:=
ParametricPlot3D[{Cos[5*t], Sin[3*t], Sin[t], {AbsoluteThickness[3],
Orange}}, {t, 0, 2*Pi}, PlotPoints -> 100];
[... graphic with a thick spiraling orange line deleted ...]

I am afraid you are totally correct on that point.
