It also works in povray.ini which, for Windows, is read first for global
options.  Quickres.ini would override the defaults.

ust to make sure, I also tested on the command line with the same results.
Display_Gamma=1.0 looked good, 1.8/2.2/2.5 were all blown out.

Yep, I did add that option, although it doesn't make any difference in 3.7.  :-)

Thanks for the help Jim, it got me where I needed!  Even if I needed a different
value.
