Thanks for the responses to my previous newbie question.

Now, got another one.  I have a local coordinate system that lies in just
the XY plane.  I want that coordinate system mapped onto the surface of a
sphere...  I want to be able to pick any point on the surface of the sphere,
then translate the origin of my local coordinate system to that location
(the plane would be a tangent plane).  The Y axis I want to face 'North'.
Then I want it smoothed out along the surface of the sphere...

Does that make sense?  I would think you should be able to do that because
its kindof like how you can apply a rectangular texture image to a
sphere....

Thanks,
Michael
