Thanks for suggesting the tutorial. I also found it somewhat helpful. I looked at it before posting and I guess I'm looking for some more specific help.

I am able to create the object - 3D text in this case. I can select the objects I want chromed. I can click Object - Texture - load texture. I have only four texture files in the samples folder. None of them is chrome.

Now what? Intuition tells me I need a chrome texture file. Where might one find such a file?

I have seen other posts in these forums mention object properties and something about the shininess set to zero is full mirror. That might work too. I can open the object properties window but typing shininess = 0 and rendering did nothing except gave me an error in POV ray. Unfortunately POVray gives me errors every time I use it with anything but the supplied samples. Trying to render files from AC3D I get errors every time.
