"Inside LightWave v9"

You can leave the Graph Editor open while
you work, but if you want to have additional item channels to edit, you need to manually
bring them into the Channel Bin. However, if you press Shift+g, the Graph Editor
is updated with the currently selected item in Layout. What??™s more, you can turn on
Track Item Selections from the General Options panel of the Graph Editor.
2. Expand the channels for the light in the Scene Display by clicking the small
white triangle.
3. Hold down the Shift key and double-click the light??™s Position.Z channel to add it
to the Curve Bin. If you don??™t hold the Shift key while double-clicking, the new
selection overrides anything already added to the Curve Bin.
4. In the Curve Bin, hold down the Shift key and select both the Camera Position.Z
and Light Position.Z channels. Or, hold Ctrl and press the up arrow on your
keyboard.
5. Select Add mode, and in the Curve Window, create three keyframes to the right
of the first keyframe at zero. Figure 6.57 shows the Graph Editor with the additional
keyframes.
Figure 6.57 With multiple curves selected, you can create identical keyframes for both channels
at once.
