Global components from rotation

I am writing a script for a physics rocket. I have the rotation of the rocket. I would like to convert from rotation to global vector componets. The idea is to make the rocket move along it's long axis by applying the force in the direction of the global components.

I am having trouble figuring out the conversion.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Elmer

vector forward = llRot2Fwd(llGetRot()), assuming your object's 'forward' axis is its local x axis.
