Hello,
	Is there a tutorial on using POV-Ray 3.5 with Windows using just Emacs 
and the command line?  I have two problems:
	1. There is only one executable--pvengine.exe, which brings up 	the GUI 
editor.  Where is povray.exe?
	2. The pov-mode.el file doesn't work with Emacs 20.7.
	Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

POV-Ray for Windows during instalation gives you manual. In first chapter
(which is platform specific part of manual) there is section about windows
specific options of POV-Ray GUI. Once you would try it you probably could
discover that splash screen still happens. That's intentional and was
discussed many times.

Happy editing and raytracing, ABX

Thanks for the reply.  I think it could've been compressed as RTFM. :-) 
    The splash screen doesn't bother me at all.

So the command line now works:

$ pvengine /render /exit file.pov

Still have no idea how to solve the emacs problem though.  The mode line 
never changes to pov-mode.  And it seems to load for all files (not just 
POV Ray files).
