It sounds like you're using the Windows version of POV-Ray.  You can 
write any command-line options in the box just to the right of the 
resolution drop-down box.  BTW, these will override any other default 
optins -- IOW, putting "+w200 +h150" in that box will make it ignore any 
size selected in the resolution box.  Secondly, these option commands 
will remain in this box until you manually delete or replace them, even 
if you close and re-open POV-Ray.
