  Command line questions... (DOS/WIN)

Hello, I have a question, having grown tired of the decisively crude POV-Ray
Windows interface, I sought to run POV-Ray from within TextPad, a highly
customizable programmers editor (thanks for the idea Spider). It actually
works, however if I could tweak the POV-Ray UI just a little more, I would
be able to achieve precisely the goal I am hoping to attend, please read on.

Are there any command switches to supress the POV-Ray Message Windows
(DOS/WIN) and instead simply have all information simply displayed in a DOS
fashion to the standard output, in this case the monitor? In short, I am
hoping to completely hide the POV-Ray windows, and instead have all of the
pertinent information written directly to a black DOS screen, so that it can
be captured by TextPad and filled into the Console it supplies!

Thanks in advance -
Please respond via email also!

PS. If someone has any ideas on how I could achieve this, please let me
know! If the DOS version has the capability to supress the fancy 'curses'
style windowing system, then I will also need to find out if the rendered
image can be displayed in a Windows9x DOS box, as opposed to full screen.

Thanks again!
