Hi Stuart (and Simon).

Thanks very much for your help. I've managed to get my multiple objects
up and running at last!

I was only doing the lighting stuff once, when I should have done it
once for each object handler as you described.

Now I can push on with putting some textures on my objects. I hope this
isn't to difficult (you'll be seeing some more desparate pleas for help
if it is!).

Thanks once again,

	Jon Arkley.
