Hello,

Povray for Windows comes with a nice set of ready-made scenes (available
in the Insert sub menu).
I wonder if (and then where) they are available for other ports,
including the unix port ?

why such segregation ?

Should I complain in beta-test ?

Strictly speaking only a few of them are scenes; most are mere code 
snippets. They're a feature of the editor, so as the Unix version does 
not come with an editor... well, you guess.

Might make sense in the long run though to move the code snippets to 
some directory that's included in the Unix version as well - maybe some 
"scenes/snippets" - so that they can be used with external editors that 
provide similar features.

Yes, please do.

(Even sed and edlin have such a feature.;)
