Geoff,

Thanks, I do have that file.  It is in the /usr/share/povray/include folder 
with Povray's default inc files. 

It does seem to have some commands related to setting display types, but it 
does not seem to have a camera or light source.  If I add code for a light 
source and camera to the babel-generated pov file, I still get a black image 
file.

Steve

There is a "babel31.inc" file which should be placed somewhere in your PovRay 
installation. This processes spheres vs. ball-and-stick, etc.

If you can't find yours in the installed Open Babel, you can get it online:
http://openbabel.svn.sf.net/viewvc/openbabel/openbabel/trunk/doc/babel31.inc

Hope that helps,
-Geoff
