Since I'm getting no response for my post, I think I'll just have to respond
to myself ;).  Let me add that I can't get any post processing to work with
animation.  For example, using the find_edges.pov script, if I animate the
script only one post-processed bitmap with edges is outputed.  Although when
it renders, it renders 10 separate normal image files.

Is there something I need to add to the save_file line? Is there
a different way of starting the animations that I should be using?

So to be specific, I used find_edges.pov located in scenes/megapov/postproc.
I added a .ini file that only has an Initial_Frame and a Final_Frame line
in it.  I'm using megapov 1.2.1.

Has anyone else encountered this problem before?  Is the program behaving
properly and I just don't know it?  I.e. is animation not supposed to
produce a post-processed image for each frame?
