welcome to povray! you might want to post to the povray.newusers section,
although this povray.general group sees a good deal of questions like this
so it's not really a bad choice.

the first question is what operating system are you using povray under? in
windows you would do like Bob H said. in unix type systems you would do
something like

povray +Iinputfile.pov +W320 +H240 +A

that first thing is a plus sign, followed by a capitol "i" and then the
scene source file. i hope i'm right on this syntax. been using windows
lately and i'm only 95% sure.

or you could control the rendering settings more with antialiasing depth,
method and jitter, etc. check the manual section "5.2.6.4  Anti-Aliasing
Options"

I think that's about it, good luck and have fun! don't forget to post some
things in povray.binaries.images and get suggestions and ideas. just
compress your images (jpeg is prefered). there are full guidelines for
posting messages someplace, but that should get you by allright to start ;)
