I am running hadsm3viz_4.03_powerpc-apple-darwin, and I noticed very illogical behaviour of the arrow keys. When the up key is used, the observer's point of view moves northward (and the globe turns towards the south). So if everything would be logical, when the left key is used, the user would expect to see the point of view move to the left, so westward. But no, it's actually the globe that starts turning westward, so the point of view goes the other way, towards the east!Due to this inconstistency in arrow use, I keep systematically hitting the wrong key to move east or west...
