I'm looking for a general understanding of what povray does when it reads  a
file.

I thoroughly understand how to #write a file and how it responds to a file
where I #include   text that is actually SDL.

But I don't know how to handle a file that is not SDL.  Say it is just a
list of names, one per line:

smith
barney
fife
luck
olsen


How can I get this into povray?  Or can povray only #read something that is
SDL?
