Yes, thanks, that's what I do when I want to render the parts of the scene.
But for example, if I make changes to a light in Moray, and want to export
just that updated light to the POV file it would make things much easier
because I would not overwrite objects that were edited in the POV file. The
thing I'm after is keeping a POV file intact but updating certain parts of
it taking advantage of the Moray GUI. It works well with the Material editor
because I can copy and paste from the text window on the lower right. If
there were a similar for objects, cameras, lights, etc that would be great
and work just  like an export selected function.

As it is, I save the the POV file that Moray exports right away under a new
name and find the changes exported to the original POV file and copy and
paste to the renamed pov file, if you see what I mean.
