Tried that but it doesn't render the scene. It prompts me with the following
text (in the blue bottom info field of povray):
--------------------------------------
Possible command line errror: unknown switch '0000.pov'
command line error: problem with command line or INI file

return from renderer eith error status
---------------------------------------
the batch file I use now states:
pvengine.exe +H512 +W384 +A0.3 +0000.pov +000Otest.bmp /exit (is this the
correct writing, cause it just starts and then closes without rendering

pvengine.exe +H512 +W384 +A0.3 +0000.pov +000Otest.bmp "/exit" (withone
should it be, cause this one gives me the stated message above)

is there something wrong with the writing of this file or the location (the
file works when i render via the gui myself)

PS. when asking it on my eporters programme newsgroup I got this reply, but
am not sure if that is the same solution  (command-line) with the batch
operation or something different:
--------------
Yes. You can then render all of them automatically using POV-Ray
command-line (or GUI),
