Suppose you have a material color:

float object_color[] = 
{
        DIFFUSE,    0.1, 1.0, 0.2,
        SPECULAR,   0.3, 0.9, 0.3,
        EMISSION,   1.0, 0.1, 1.0,
        SHININESS,  24.0,
        LMNULL 
};

which has been set with:

	lmdef(DEFMATERIAL, 1, 15, object_color);


First, are you allowed to change the EMISSION values (or really any
of object_color's properties) on the fly?  

Second, If you can change on the fly, do you need to do a new call to
lmdef every time for the changes to take effect or is the first call
sufficient?
