I tried a depth image for the first time.  It looked cool as displayed
on the screen in Mega for windows.

When I loaded up the image in question in a paint program, it was the
same old kind of image: multicolor and no depth map to it!

You probably loaded up the wrong file by mistake. By default, the more 
recent version(s) of MegaPOV create a separate post-processed version of 
the image, instead of overwriting the unprocessed version.

Look for the file which is the same name, but with PP added to it
