Check for paths. For example, you should be able to call up Windows
Notepad.exe but not a C:\Nowhere\Nopad.exe, so I think as long as there's a
valid path (and PATH variable is set) then it should work okay.
Been a long time since I used INI for that. To use DOS commands you have to
run the command-line interpreter, which might be either command.com or
cmd.com.
Pre_Scene_Return=F should signify to POV that if a shell-out program/action
fails that POV aborts also. You'd need to be sure that causes an error code
though or it wouldn't have an effect, I believe.
