Thanks Don & Mathias --- I've upgraded to jdk 1.4.1, j3d 1.3 and actually the 
openGL & directX packages both solved the pointSize problem, but caused another 
(less serious from my point of view) problem.

I've got a two-monitor "Radeon 7000" series adapter running 16-bit color 
2560x1024 which (oddly enough) only works with Java3D when one monitor is 
disabled.  I say "oddly enough" because originally, when I was just having the 
pointSize problem, both monitors were enabled.  Now if I disable one and run in 
1280x1024 all's well.  Hate to press my luck by asking two questions on my 
first day on this list but I've tried everything I can think of.

Thanks,
Greg

I realized this problem, too. But since I have changed to the newest
DirectX/JDK/Java3D-Versions the problem is gone. Point sizes and line
widths are working. I am using jdk 1.4.1, j3d 1.3 and DirectX 8.1

Hope that helps
