I uninstalled PovRay and made sure to delete the entire install directory.
I then re-installed POVRay 3.6.1a and MegaPov 1.2 beta.  I also downloaded
the latest version of IsoCSG (0.7) and referenced it with a Library_Path
entry in the master POVRAY.INI

Now the tutorials (5 and 6, didn't check the others) fail with the following
error:
---START SNIPPET---
Saved simulation data to file tut05.dat
Generating Objects...Done
File: C:artPOV-Ray for Windows v3.6INCLUDEmechsim.inc  Line: 577
File Context (5 lines):
  #fclose FILE
 #end
 #debug "Donen
Parse Error: Expected 'object', } found instead
---FINISH SNIPPET---

This appears to be related to the line
  MechSim_Show_All_Objects(-1, true, -1, "")
