(1) Your sysadmin may have installed the software somewhere other
than /usr/local. If so, look at your $GENSHADE_DIR variable, and
use that instead of /usr/local/genshade in the above
example.
(2) Cells don't contain the actual images and data, they contain pointers to them. The term "copying an image and data" refers to copying these pointers and loading the image into the cell.
