You could certainly put it in the same file you're putting the time in.
If you make it an argument to the batch file, you can output it to the 
file and run the script without having to type it twice, e.g.:

@echo off
echo " > gottime.txt
echo | more | time | find "Current" >> gottime.txt
echo "; >> gottime.txt
echo " >> gottime.txt
echo %1 >>gottime.txt
echo "; >>gottime.txt
c:\progra~1\pov-ra~1.1\bin\pvengine.exe /render %1
exit

The original version of this batch file doesn't work on NT, by the 
way, so I haven't been able to test it.
