Thanks for your reply Le
I thought that be the case but I was hoping that there was some 
undocumented function that everyone but me knew.

It is a slight pain to change the code manualy as I save my files 
incrementally, a lot, as I make changes in the scene.

I’m doing this as a sample scene for Bishop3D so my audience may not 
know too much about changing the Library_Path in povray.ini. I was 
hoping to automate some of it.
  Maybe a feature for Pov 4.0 ;-)
