Where do the contents of the Message Window get saved to? Does it write 
the entire contents to a file?

Just a quick reply. The message window text does not get saved.
You can copy the contents to the clipboard, through the menu.
You can also redirect messages, warnings, debug text to a file.
If you can find it in the Help. Look up 3.2.7 Text Output Options

What folder can I find the messages in after I redirect the streams?

I think that it will be saved in the directory that you ran the Pov file 
from. Unless you include a path in the output file's name. Look at 
3.2.7.3 Directing Text Streams to Files

It shouldn't be difficult to do a quick test with a unique name and 
search for it.
