Paul and Robert,
Thank you very much for your responses.
They are very helpful.
I do have a couple of more questions - I hope that you do not mind.
Am I wrong about the reflection looking different for the oxygen versus the
carbon?
If I export a jpeg they look fine, only when I try to export a povray do they
look different.
Is there an easy way to fix this? I do not want to manually change the povray
files - I guess
that I could write a script to edit them.
Thank you again.
Jay

The first three a() entries are the atoms. The other 8 are end-caps for the
bonds. Hidden in this case by the atoms and the opacity of the bonds
themselves.
