EQuesters,
It has been suggested to me that I can rotate the view in 3-D by holding
down the "control" key and clicking the left mouse button. However, themost
reaction that I get from the computer, whether or not I drag the mouse
during the process, is a delayed and momentary portrayal of the outlines of
the building components (without areas being colored-in). No rotation
occurs.
Any ideas how I can rotate my 3-D view? I am in "detailed edit" mode
and would like to visually check my various shades, etc.

Nick and Kyle,
Thanks much for the help with 3-D rotation.
In answer to Nick's questions, yes it does perform the zoom function,
albiet slowly and with some delay. Also, yes, I have selected the "3-D
Geometry" tab in the DD mode.
When I took Kyle's suggestion of switching between solid and wire modes,
I got more results: In wire mode, which I guess is less taxing on the CPU,
I got it to rotate! However, my relatively robust project image disappeared
after too much rotation.
Nick's suggestion of trying this with a simple wizard-from-scratch model
allowed roation (in wire mode) without disappearance.
In summary, it seems that my computer simply can't handle the math
involved in doing the rotations of my actual project (as Nick suggested).
At least the mystery is solved!
Thanks!
