Lou, I guess from your results below that a bug report to WRI is in order. Cheers .... Syd Incidentally your analysis reminds me of a design problem I had in 1966. The problem was to optimise the shape of the two surfaces of a high-gain cassegraine antenna given the radial characteristics of the microwave source located about where your point is. The antenna ended up on the UK AWAC aircraft of that era. I programmed in Algol in those days on an Elliott Automation 803. Boy how I would like to have had Mathematica and a Mac in 1966!
