I am using the 3.7.0.beta32.msvc9.win64

I have tried setting the number of worker threads from the command line
e.g. using the /WT
"C:\Program Files\POV-Ray for Windows v3.7\bin\pvengine64.exe" /EXIT /NR /RENDER
/WT=8   patio-radio_640_480_AA.ini

It has no effect (on my system this run uses 16 threads, which is the total # of
cpus).

When I specify
Work_Threads=8
in the patio-radio_640_480_AA.ini, then it runs with 8 threads (with or without
the /WT=8 specification in the command line.

I'm not sure whether the standard (i.e. non-Windows-specific) command line
parameters do support the "/FOO" notation at all; in any case, the shorthand
forms of the command line options should be written without the "=".

So "+WT8" should do the job.
