which bit is confusing ?

i extracted the code and saved as box.pov

then i did xemacs box.pov

hit render, knowing fullwell it would fail with the image file non existent

got Image rendered successfully message, no image :-)

did cmd line - povray +w1024 +h768 +d box.pov
noted error message, had to scroll back a page and a half, hence the 
buried aspect

then i copied one of my jpegs to the filename used in box.pov

repeated above

for xemacs, same message and a display image this time

cmd line - it rendered with a display window


i suspect that the mechanism for picking up a failed parse or some such 
error is now looking for something no longer occurring - or perhaps 
povray is setting a success code regardless :-) ( NB very tongue in cheek)

i've attached 15k log for your perusal
