Ahh, good, thanks for telling of that! Oh, everyone, don't forget that "v"
in front of the version number.

I figured the POV for Windows installation was using the best alternative to
fit any Windows situation by going with the truncated path, but when I tried
the long file name way I overlooked putting quotes on the file name
parameter %1 and instead had quoted the entire thing or just the path name.

I like your idea to add a render option to inc's, guess I'll do that too.
What I need to figure out now is how to force them to open in Notepad as
main choice (left-click) then give me the other options to open into POV-Ray
in a right-click menu.

Well, just checked on that and it was simple, all I had to do is use
different actions/applications and set the Notepad one as default. Yea! I
should have done this long ago. ;-)
