I have just installed POVRAY to use with ldraw and the L3PAO add on.  When I
run L3P via the add on, POV RAY opens but I get the message "Empty filename
after /RENDER"

What have I done wrong?

Don't know but I searched for info on this and looks like someone has said 
it doesn't work directly with version 3.5 or 3.6:
http://www.ldraw.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=105

Installation procedures or LDraw seems to indicate it must be done in 
conjunction with POV-Ray (again, I don't know about L3PAO), as seen here:
http://www.ldraw.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=104

Empty filename error means none was given on the commandline, so something 
is amiss about the utility sending it.

I'd suggest contacting the author of the utility.
