Ahh, yes, but I've been switching back and forth between a UNIX box and a
windows box, and most of my coding / searching was on the UNIX box, using
firefox pointed at povray.org/documentation.

I probably should have asked Google and limited the site to the
documentation section of povray.org though.  I always think of the better
and simpler ways of doing things after ranting.  I suppose that isn't
really the inbuild documentation either, but I didn't see a better place to
post.

I think the main point I was trying to make is that "Introduction" is not a
good name for that section in the online docs, and the "see also" links are
not particularly good at directing you to that section if you are somewhere
else.  I also thought that the windows stuff was generated from the same
source as the online HTML was.  I now see that there are some reasonable
differences, and that it was a poor assumption as well.
