On all of the Windoze machines I've had. The state file is not always 
deleted.

I believe you can do this. Bishop3D has a debug render screen (Ctrl + 
Shift + Alt + F9) that displays the image as PovRay renders it. I think 
that this is done via a GUI Extension. Moray used its own GUI Extension 
to start PovRay.
