* read the doc.

* set path to your "includes" folder "Edit" menu, "Prefrences...". in 
the "Scenes" tab, clic "Add.." then novigate to your "includes" folder 
and clic "Choose". Now in the "Global Include Paths" you must have a 
line like this : "hd:Applications:PovRay:includes:". That do, close the 
dialog.

* In the "File" menu, choose "Open" and go to the scenes folder.  Go for 
exemple in the "Camera" folder and open "spherical.pov". this open a 
window with source code for this scene.

* In the "Render" -> Render spherical.pov (or cmd-r)... you have now 
your image !

* settings for this scene can be changed in the "edit" menu -> 
"spherical.pov settings"

have fun !!
