I personally do not like to use the master POV .ini file.  I create an
.ini file for each animation that I create and have things in it like
The input and output file names, the first and last frame, first and
last clock value, and the height and width of the image.  However I was
set on finding out how to do animations so I used the docs (well it
shows some of us newbies read them!) the look up the settings.

However that is about as far as my animations go, I have no idea how
people do the complex animations, the complexity of mine stand at a
spinning cube.  If you have any for using straight POV (i.e. not
ClockMod) for complex animations I would be very grateful.
