I have it on my personal wishlist and will go with the rest (less than
700 messages to go :) )

Thanks Chris, Bill. Wouldn't you just know it... the obvious overlooked
once again. Did fine here too, and to think I was hunting through the
Windows Registry for a fix (dumber than I look).

Hi, Bill. If I close POVWin v3.1g with scene files in the editor
window it remembers this to open the same files in the editor upon
startup. Is this what you mean, or something else?

I think it does now. When a file is Opened the folder it was in stays
until next time you open (or save) a file in a different location (another
file in other words) and the original locations are kept for each individual
file even after restarting POV.
What doesn't stay is the New... then Save as... location, unless that fix
mentioned earlier is done by specifying a Start In folder of the properties
to a shortcut to POV.

No,
When I am working in my (fr'instance) \PovFiles\Toys\FlyingSaucer\
directory and I close PovRay for the night, when I wake up and do
<new><save> it shows up in the \My Documents\ directory instead of
\PovFiles\Toys\FlyingSaucer\ .
I think it used to remember what directory you were in.

If you had saved another file in your toys directory just before opening
a new file it will use that directory. If you just open the program then
you are correct in that it will go to the windows default save directory
which in your case is my documents.
