It should have been enough ... but:

In the options menu, I have 'keep above main' selected and 'autoclose'
unselected.
The POVRAY.ini file in the 'render' directory has "Display=On" in it.
In addition, in the povray for windows 'render settings' dialog box, I have
tried entering both
+d and "Display=On" in the command line options.

I still don't get a render window until rendering is complete.  I have
indeed looked behind the main window to see if it was hiding there,  and it
wasn't.

Could there be an ini file,  hidden somewhere? If it's like most *nix
programs, this one goes through a series of ini files, from global, to user,
to local, with each superceding the previous.  Maybe I'm missing something
in a hidden "user settings" directory somewhere?

Thanks,
Alan
