Hi Chris, apologies, that was the beer talking last night ;o)

   In Pov, I can't see any clear option to turn an image into a JPEG image,
like you can in Photo Deluxe 2 or Photoshop 5.   However, I have now found
my image saved as a .bmp, in MS Paint??!! (how'd it get there?)
   After rendering, do the images save as .bmp's by default? And is it ok to
send to pov.images in this format?
    As i've said in .newusers, i'm 'puter illit. So finding my way around
mine is a nightmare sometimes. I've only had it 6 months :o(  but i'm
getting there :o)
