No kidding, but is there another way to access the projection matrix so
you can go from points on the screen to points in world coordinates?

Howard:

I have taken your example program and made a few changes so that it
illustrates the bug I am running into.

As it is here, the lights do not move.  If, however, you uncomment the
line mmode(MPROJECTION), marked with a "+++" comment, the light source
begins to move, despite the fact that the very next line returns you
to MVIEWING mode.

Once again, I am running this on a Personal Iris 4D/25 and have no idea
if other SGI workstations have the same problem.
