Ah, I see that I need to turn on Textures and/or Vectors to see much of
anything.  (Though if I get a *lot* of overlapping particles, the default
setting will give a green haze.  That wasn't clear from the web-page (as I
read it), and I didn't initially look at the keyboard-handling to see what
extra keys might work that the web-page might neglect to mention.)

I hnow have a 4001 particle system (in a tiny window) spinning around at a
pleasant speed.  (Well, I think that it has trouble getting up to 4001
particles.  I assume that they are getting eaten about as fast as they are
created, now, but it's over 3700 particles...(^&)
