Correct, in addition to the existing WINDOW, FENCE, WRAP modes there is
now a new mode called PERSPECTIVE. I called it THREED in earlier posts.
It comes up in 2D WRAP mode as always.

I've tried to add 3D drawing mode as seamlessly as possible.
I may add a "PARALLEL" mode in the future as well.

I'm always jumping between using the technical terms and ones that
young students will understand. But I also don't believe in teaching
nonstandard terms. I also changed "NOSE" to "PITCH". Anyone can add
nonstandard terms to the library if they wish.

Technically "HEADING" is YAW (don't worry, I didn't change that :-)).

The problem using non technical terms is they break down when you
introduce other similar terms. For example if I kept THREED then what
would I call a Parallel projection mode (which is also another 3D mode).
These differences have already been worked out, so I decided using the
technical terms was safest and students will learn the correct terms if
they want to play in 3D land.
