I'm no expert in this field, but IIRC the heightfield-primitive is
internally represented as a mesh. I don't know if this means that the
special POV can output that though.

But - there is no need for this. Have a look at the HF_Square-macro in
shapes.inc the standard distribution of V 3.5. It will build a mesh from a
user-defined function and may write it to a file. You still will have to
convert that output as it's unlikely that some other program supports
POV-meshes directly - but that shouldn't be too hard, if you know the
description of the format you want to use.

I hope that helps,
