Comments

Default attributes for individual markers can be specified by including a *Marker() statement for each marker and using the name of the specific marker in place of the Default option.

Colors are numbered from 0 to 63 representing any of the 64 colors on the palette.

FullTrace displays the traced path without animating the model.  The model must be animated for TraceBySteps and TraceLast to display the path of motion
