I haven't denied that either.

Now I dounle-checked it, and indeed, the syntax is similar but 
different. And then what? It was a failed attempt to somehow work around 
my problem. Do you think I should be burned for trying, and hoping that 
it would work?

Please read the whole thread before being so smart. I already mentioned 
that I have no root privileges on the machine in question, so I can't in 
any way install a config file to /usr/local/etc, where povray looks for 
it. I don't give a sh*t about the install script.
