Yes, I know.  That's what I'm seeking ( I'm trying to run X as little as
possible these days, as there may be something wrong with my ATI Rage
card -- rapid mouse clicking&dragging or intense bursts of keyboarding
can cause EVERYTHING to crash. -- long story, still sussing that problem
out...)

Yes, but I believe if I explicitly typed "x-povray (+args)"  it would
come back with "command not found" or something to that effect.  The
command 'povray' by itself performs that function, and displays the
image as it renders IF the +D is chosen.
