I have put up the new version with the 
background sphere as suggested by Geoff and 
Chris at SGI.  This works.  It slows down the 
animation a bit as expected.  Looks nice though.

I've added a wave file which the start prox 
sensor kicks off.  This .wav is about half a meg 
which is as small as I could make it before 
the sound began to crackle unacceptably. 
It wonka's, then gives a taste of Kate's music.
No more than that.  Too big.  CD-ROM is a 
better media for this kind of thing.

On 14.4, the wav takes around six minutes to load.
A Bryan Dongray midi (Babooshka) starts when the page loads, so let it 
finish and/or select another from the list in 
the html frame.  CosmoPlayer PC lets you 
wander around the world while the wav is 
loading.  It will start unexpectedly because 
the prox sensor to start the animation and 
sound is in the region between the entry 
and start views.  The animation starts, then 
the sound goes off whenever it completes the 
load.  PAGE/DOWN or PAGE/UP switches 
the cameras.
