Ok, my setup wasn't really anything special.  I was quickrendering from the
Detail editor so I didn't have any cameras set up or any special lights.  I had
it add it's own light automatically.  (made sure the "don't add lights" gadget	w
asn't checked)  I had the ground on screen and could view it in the
perspective window along with the reflective ball.  Remember, I even deleted
the ball and attempted to render just the ground, once with it 'picked' and
once selected.  I just got a black screen, except when I rendered it with the
ball, then I got the ball reflecting the ground but no ground.  The ground
object was right next to the ball also, almost touching.

I figured you would have got a reply back on this one.  I asked the same
question last week.  The answer is "That is the way it is suposed to work."
In scanline the only reflections you get is of the ground onto an object.
There is a more precise answer to this, but I cannot do it from memory.
