Bob,
  This is the file I plan to use;

Antialias=Off

Antialias_Threshold=0.1
Antialias_Depth=2
Input_File_Name=Fly.pov


Output_File_Path=C:\My Documents\PovAnimation

Initial_Frame=1
Final_Frame=50
Initial_Clock=0
Final_Clock=1

Cyclic_Animation=on
Pause_when_Done=off

Will this work?
Les

This animation will be an aircraft flying around in the scene, but so 
far I haven't been able to get the object rotation values to work right.
