Yes There is!
It's under  Options: Script I/O Restrictions: Disable Starting other Programs

In the example above the 'Post_Scene_Command' could equal any program ya need
not just a bat file.
That program can return an error code, that is caught with with
Post_Scene_Return=s; There are lot of variables that POV can sent to that
program & several things that an error can do. You can find them starting with
3.2.6.1 String Substitution in Shell Commands in widows doc.

 I use Post_Frame_Command a while back to make 3d animations. I wrote a program
that would by pass two images then on the third it would rename it and delete
the other two. The POV code make two images left & right and take those two to
make the third.
 The fun part is getting the program I wrote and POV to work together.
Have Fun!!
