I'm having trouble initializing a clocked animation using the command-line box
in the beta version, it keeps telling me I have an invalid command line but the
arguments are the same as I always use.  Did something change?

command-line: +FS24, +W640, +H480, +K1.0, +KFF180

The same commands work in 3.6 just fine.

I don't really know anything about .ini files, so I tend to use the command box
for such things.

The important ones here aree:
+K1.0 Sets the clock to 1.0
+KFF180 Sets the final frame to 180.

Now, what exactly did you want to do?  I would recommend something like
these (just guessing, of course):
+KI0 +KF1 +KFI1 +KFF180
+KI1 +KF180 +KFI0 +KFF180

The first interpolates the clock value from 0 to 1, with 180 frames.
The second interpolates from 1 to 180, such that the clock value is
identical to the frame number (note that POV doesn't {or didn't -
perhaps it's been added?} accept a frame value of 0).

Huh? I have always used +kfi0 with no problem...

And I've used it several times, too.  But I recall a bug being found a
while back, where the cause was determined to be a frame value of 0
which, it turned out, was unsupported (thus causing the bug).  I don't
know if they ever fixed that or not.

I figured it out, the parser no longer accepts comma-separated arguments, which
makes sense...

The next thing on my list is: Have the additional animation variables been
removed?  (clock_delta, initial_clock, final_clock)...

They no longer highlight as keywords in the beta.
