i use xemacs and have put the pov-mode files under 
/home/stephen/.xemacs/modes

i've attached the files i use, had to modify to path of 
/home/stephen/.xemacs etc in /home/stephen/.xemacs/custom.el

i'm currently playing with povmode.el and it is now NON standard,
i'm trying to add a local include path /home/stephen/includes

currently the Render button finds the filename of the buffer, and works
High render goes looking for OBJECT.POV, only tried High though

any ideas appreciated

stephen
