You need to change the settings in povray.ini so that Pov-Ray knows
where to find your files. 

Go to Tools > Edit Master POVRAY.INI
And edit the ini file to include the directories you keep your files
in e.g.

Library_Path=H:\Graphics\Moray For Windows V3_5\Maps
Library_Path=H:\Graphics\Moray For Windows V3_5\Maps\Planets

There is a very good manual that comes with Pov-Ray. It is advisable
to read it, from end to end. I know it is tempting to just get "stuck
in" but it is well worth the time. Another point, in the newusers
group people are much more tolerant and very helpful. In the more
advanced groups you tend to get answers like RTFM. Guess what that
means :-}
In case you don't know, It is traditional for your first post to be a
