  This response applies only to the Win version of the program and my
not apply to the platform you are running Pov on.

  If you attempt to render a scene after making changes without saving
Pov will ask if you wish to SAVE the changed file, save ALL open files
NO for no save and render the scene, or CANCEL wich cancels the rendering
operation completely. Once you select the no save option it will not ask
you again if you wish to save and it is up to you to manualy save any
changes if you so desire.
  So there is your answer. Attempt to render without saving, select NO
from the choices, and you can then make repeated changes without saving
them to the file on disk until such time as you are satisfied with it's
content.
