Bitmap size: Controls the size of the bitmap image. 
	Bitmap Width: This is the width of the traced image. 
	Bitmap Height: The height of the traced image.


Trace Processing:

  Trace time: This is how many milli seconds the ray tracer will spend
              tracing before it lets windows use the processor.

  Rest time: This is how many milli seconds the program will let windows 
	     use the processor. If another task hogs the processor the 
	     trace will not resume tracing until it has given the 
	     processor back to windows. NOTE a value of zero will not allow
             the ray tracer to do any tracing.
             
Surface File: This is the file name of the predefined surface list.
             
Calculate while tracing: This allows you to turn on, and off different ray
		         tracing effects.

	Reflections: This turns on and of the reflections calculations.
	Refraction: This feature is not allowed in the sample.
	Diffuse lighting: Turns off and on diffuse lighting.

			 will automatically quantinize all images that have
			 more than 256 colors.
        Scale images to fit: If this feature is on it will blow up and 
			     shrink images to fit the image viewer window.
