The Start_Row doesn't work with Continue.  If I use them both the trace
starts at the last line that was rendered rather than actually starting at
the +SR point.  For example I have an image that is 1280x1024.  The render
had completed down to row 700.  I wanted to basically continue the trace but
starting back at line 450.  If  I use +c +SR450 the trace starts at 700.  If
I leave out the +c then the upper portion (1 to 449) is left out.

My main reason for not simply starting over is the amount of time the render
requires (4 days.)

I found a sloppy way of doing what I want by opening the BMP within a paint
program and copying the blank/black area below the image back up into the
rendered area.  (I noticed this area was all black with a thin line of color
on the far left side) Then using the +c it is starting back at 450 as I
wished.  I just though there must be an easier way to request a +c AND
+sr450 that would re-render (overwrite) from that starting point even though
the image was actually past that point.
