...Also, when I started using pov I was also a newbie to computers in
general.
It was through my quest to animate with pov that I learned what an .ini
file is even for. 
I did just look over the animation help stuff and some of the included
animation files briefly. Some of the included povfiles have command line
settings commented out inteded to be used to create the animation. But
it's
not presented in a way that says "copy & paste me to the command line".
I
know what to do with it now but when I started it just looked like
jibberish
as did most pov scenelanguage. It would be helpful to have it mentioned
in
those scenefiles that there is an ini file of the same name.and that it
is
needed to render multiple frames(or something similar about command line
switches).

It wasn't until I decided to rendered one of the ini files that I
figured it out.
I thought it was just going to produce an error, but of course I got
frames beautiful
frames...
