No, but there should be a way for your batch file to tell the operating
system it wants to wait for the program to complete.
You're getting problems due to microsoft hacks.

In Windows NT, you use the "start" command with some special parameter
to tell it to wait. Maybe using "start povray" instead of just "povray"
in your batch file will do the trick. Try "start -h" to get its options.
