If you're using POV on Windows, the first time you render a scene after
startup it will give you the option to a) Save this file, b) save all files,
or c) render the saved version.  You also have a check-box for it not to
bother you again.  So, just check "leave me alone" and save all files.
Then, every time you render, all open files are saved.  Don't know about
other platforms, though.
