Perhaps I'm confusing it with another program, but I thought there was a KB hotkey that would display the position of the point light(s)?

The word 'light' doesn't appear in the Help list of KB hotkeys:

The position of the active layer can be visualised by pressing F2.

Another way to make the light itself visible is using a flare texture:

Thanks Michiel, but I don't see how F2 tells me anything about lights?

--------------------

Following that procedure to add a texture gave me a window with the 1st and 2nd boxes empty and the third containing this
C:\Outerspace Software\BluffTitler\media\effects\NotLightened_Additive.fx

which appears to imply that by default there should be no light, yet there plainly is. I can GUESS its position very roughly but I'm sure there must be more precise methods?

IOW, I'm a bit lost here - could you say a little more please?

Maybe your light is positioned behind the camera.

Moving it to a visible position with the POSITION property will make it visible.
