I usually set such things directly in the quickres.ini file (I don't use the
command line very much.)

This may be a too-simple suggestion, but see if it helps:  Locate
quickres.ini in whatever folder it's in (most likely RENDERER)  and open it
in either the POV-Ray editor window or just a text editor. (Or, in POV-Ray,
go to TOOLS/RESOLUTION .INI FILE). You should see a list of entries that
look something like

[640 X 480]
Width=640
Height=480
Antialias=on
Antialias_Threshold=0.1
Display_Gamma=2.2

Check there to see if Output_To_File=off. If so, change it to on, or just
leave the entire line out altogether.

You can edit and add to the quickres.ini file any way you like, and even add
comments (preceeded by a semi-colon, not two slashes as in Pov_Ray scene
files.)

Hope this helps.
