Remco,

This reply is not targeted at you but to the entire thread.

What you describe is part of the most mudane functionalities
of windows and whatever happens to run on it (so long as the
authors of said 3rd party software(s) respect the common
windows' way of doing things for basic editing methodes). 

I do think the docs should mention that is uses basic
windows' editing methodes along with anything else it can do
that is not common to windows. These basic functionalities
should be second-nature to most, unless they are also new to
windows. 

This could also apply to any other operating system you may
be using. 

I do believe this entire thread should have been in
povray.newusers to begin with.

My 2 scales :)
