VRML problem

I've been trying to get VRML working properly.  I've installed the Cortona VRML browser and can get some sort of image to view, but it's a standard image which simply says:

  You have not supplied any 3-D drawing coordinates.
  Read the FAQs for more information on doing this.

However, I *have* read the FAQs.  I've successfully configured a handful of hosts to display using the user-supplied coords when viewing the Status Map.  I've successfully implemented the add-on images.  I'm reasonably certain (from what I've read) that I've set up the necessary config info to get VRML to display properly.

Here's a snippet from my hostextinfo.cfg file (hostname changed to protect the innocent):

define hostextinfo{
        name                    solaris
        icon_image              sun40.gif
        vrml_image              sun40.jpg
        statusmap_image         sun40.gd2
        register                0
        }
define hostextinfo{
        host_name               charlie
        use                     solaris
        2d_coords               100,100
        3d_coords               100.0,100.0,100.0
        }

At the very least, I should be seeing 'charlie' in the VRML image, but I do not.

(I originally tried the 3d_coords as whole numbers (not dotted), but on reading the FAQ, surmised that perhaps the dotted notation was required.  Clearly it didn't make a difference here.)

Thoughts?  Suggestions?
