: If you really want to use short cuts in your SendTo folder try adding "
: /edit"  to the end of the file name in the target box of the shortcut
: properties, (make sure there is a space between the path and the /edit)
: you can also do the same with " /render"
:
: -tgq
:
 That didn't seem to work ... if I add it within the " ", I get a windows
message that the path is invalid.  If I add it just after the target " "
(with a space ;), the POV prog launches but I receive the same error:

INI file error. Bad option syntax or error opening .INI/.DEF file '//'

Also tried entering that into the "Start with" box but it is not accepted.

Somehow, I still need a way to pass on the same info that is passed
when double-clicking on the .pov ... thru the association.

Obviously, I don't have a clue as to what I'm doing. ;)

I don't understand Mark's advice on creating additional file associations
for each version.  How can the .pov file have more than one ?

This is not a big deal ... I can always start the version I wish and then
load in the .pov file I wish to run ... I just thought it would be a simple
and useful way to send a .pov file to whichever version I needed.
And ... it *should* be ;)

Thanks anyway guys for your input ...
