     This case was a little stranger than that.  In OSLO, all other lens 
commands I have seen have a command line equivalent you can use.  You can 
either find the command in the menus or type it out on the command 
line.  The Scale command worked both ways in version 5.4.  In version 6.1, 
it is no longer in the menus and if you type it out on the command line, it 
returns a command-not-found type of error.  That is what puzzled me.  I 
could understand leaving it off the menus but not removing the command and 
re-implementing it some other way without documenting the change.
