I don't recommend inserting samples into a holodeck for this purpose, 
but you could create one or more rpict pictures and use rhcopy to add 
these to the holodeck manually.  Adding the object to the octree is a 
much more robust solution, however.  If you were to insert samples 
using rhcopy, you could end up with some odd reconstruction errors in 
rholo.
