Hey Softimage employees,

Can one of you explain why the XSI Spreadsheet does not display
intensity of a selection of lights? I complained to
support(at)softimage.com once and somebody replied with a hack that
involved editing some file in the installation to include the
intensity parameter, but how come that (and I'm guessing other
parameters) are missing?

Seems silly to me.
