Sorry, I misunderstood then. Thought you were saying when you right-clicked
on #include "a_file.inc" from within the POV editor, to open it, that it was
rendering somehow.

Should be able to edit the settings there where I said. Oh wait... hmmmm.
Well now that I look for it myself I don't even have an entry for that
particular file type yet.
Okay, I just added one and made a new action to edit the file in POV-Ray. I
have always used Notepad for quick editing and checking content of include
files since it's so much faster and doesn't interfere with a currently
running POV-Ray session. I've made the program command line say "C:\Program
Files\POV-Ray for Windows v3.5\bin\pvengine.exe" /edit %1  so I think that
ought to work.

Isn't working yet, maybe I need to reboot. I'll check on this and get back
to you, unless someone else has the solution already. Maybe I've overlooked
something. Wish I could remember this stuff better.  :-)
