  If you are using the official povray you can #write the value into a file
and #read that value from the file in the next frames.
  For all the frames previous to this event you can have, for example, an
"illegal" value in the file which is ignored (like -1 or something).

  If you are using megapov, you can use persistent variables.

main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]
):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/
