Thanks, thats been my modus operandi until now, and it appears that the 
"view" variables for the camera viewpoint
are whats needed; they are the only ones listed as changed in the 
trace.  But no matter how I change them in the script, it still seems to 
take up the middle half of the image only (i am appending screenshots to 
make an animation, and its very annoying).
