Actually , I left it and then selected (.5,.5,.5) , or whatever .

This did not work for me . Using SDS I could not get any
realtime maps to show up ! However , switching to 'Color *=
Texture(Map coords)' did give me a much , much better ray-
tracing (actually useable) .

OK .

Yes , I'll continue to try and get this to work as nicely as it did
for Analytic , with SDS . I've noticed other differences right away
with the simple 'mapped shadows' option for Lights , also . I'm guessing
this area of RS did not get explored very deeply previously .
Good luck with your research .
