It is fairly simple :-)
The test_POV_main file is a standalone scene file that you can use in 
POV-Ray to see the object like you saw it in Poseray. The important files 
are the _geom and the _mat files:
The _geom file contains the data describing your 3D surface
The _mat file contains a standard texture just to make the object visible. 
You can change that later.

If you are not using the _main file:
- you must first include the two other files in your scene.
- Look at the end of the _geom file how Poseray has named the object
- now call the object in your scene: object {whatever}
