Can someone answer a quick question?

I was playing around with the gsview stuff yesterday (not well
documented) and I realised I really wasn't sure of a number of things!

1) Some demos uses lw and ls, others just use ls. Howcome, and what is
the real difference?
2) When calculating lw/ls do you pass the pointer to the objects
GsCoordinate2?
3) I thought gsview2 would allow me to point the camera somewhere and
translate it. I was wrong of course! So I have linked it to a GsCoord2
which I can then move around an environment. However, how can I move
the camera along the axes of a local coordinate system ? It is
probably something obvious but I did a few combinations and didn't get
it. However, it was 7am this morning!

Regards
