Yes. That's where it appears. 'povray.newusers' is the newsgroup. 'Getting 
started' is a message posted by Lhainel and the messages under that are 
responses to his question. Unless my newsgroup reader is screwed up it looks 
like you posted a response to Lhainel's post, whereas you'd have been better 
off posting a new message.

By starting a new thread you're likely to get more readers and therefore a 
better range and quality of response.

As you can tell I don't know the Mac version, but I'd recommend first maybe 
having a go at re-installing it, taking care to check that there are no 
nasty error messages from the installation. Then, if the Mac version has a 
'Render' menu option 'Run demo', try that and see what happens. Otherwise 
load a POV file and try 'Render', 'Start rendering' or maybe there's a 'Run' 
icon.

You may also wish to take a look at the mac newsgroup at 
http://news.povray.org/./povray.macintosh/
I see there are some discussions there about installation problems, greyed 
out file options, setting the path to the include directory etc.

So that would be 3.6.??

If that still doesn't work you might try posting a new message here or on 
povray.macintosh. You could still call it 'Getting started' or maybe 
'Getting started on Mac', and I'd recommend saying that you're on a Mac 
G4/400 on OS 10.4.9 running POV-Ray 3.6.?? and describing what happens when 
you try to 'Run demo' or 'Start rendering' (or that you can't because 
they're still greyed out).
