If you have'nt changed anything from the default, then it will save the output image
as a *.BMP in 
the same folder as the *.POV source file.
hfdemo.pov is the source, plain text, file. It's NOT an image.
It output an image named hfdemo.bmp when running under windows.
AA is antialiasing. It change the image generated by smoothing the jagginess of
oblique and circular 
edges.
