Helper functions

//-- there is no llSetLocalPos, this adds the functionality
//-- to match llGetLocalPos() in a child prim
fSetLocalPos( vector vPosOffset ){
  llSetPos( llGetRootPosition() + vPosOffset );
}
//-- this will move a root prim by the offset, or set the
//-- position of a child prim relative to the root.
