I do, Jo.

The INI file name on the command line isn't working without a path. I tried
what you did, putting the ini someplace associated by a library path. POV
sees the command line okay, just doesn't know what to do with the ini file,
or so it would seem. Somebody knowing the programming for that would have to
confirm why not, if it is a bug.

Thorsten had asked me too if there was a path shown in the message stream, I
say no because the library path certainly shows no matter what anyhow. I
figured he meant was there any indication of the INI path besides that. I
could be wrong about what was being asked.
