Hmm. I must be doing something very silly. I've tried this on a win2k
machine, and now on my win98 machine, neither of which seem to function.
Here's my exact .INI file:
---
[Shell Test]
Width=320
Height=240
Antialias=Off
Pre_Scene_Command=c:\windows\notepad.exe
Pre_Scene_Return=F
---
So, I select the .INI file (clicking on the INI button and 'set, but don't
render'), and render my scene. The scene file consists of nothing more than
the basic scene template - and it immediately renders without attempting to
load notepad.exe.
At first, I figured I had forgotten to allow POV the proper permissions to
shell to an external program (just as Warp wondered). I have 'no
restrictions' set in the 'options --> Script I/O Restrictions' menu, as well
as 'Permit read/write in current directory' checked. The 'disable starting
other programs' is NOT checked.
...Are there other settings I may have overlooked?

And this is the behavior I had hoped for. So, once I find my mistake, I'll
be a happy camper. Sorry for the newbie trouble.
