Crap.  I don't have an older version.

This tool is falling into the "Phenomenally Powerful Yet Poorly Documented
and Buggy" category for me.

Here are the things I _love_ about it so far.

1. Drag-plus-type.  I can 'scale' something either the way I like by hitting
tab and typing the exact scale I want or I can eyeball it and use the mouse.
I have always liked POV because a 5 unit sphere is always exactly 5 units,
and most modelers like Truespace push you to eyeball it with the mouse.  I
can actually do it either way in Wings.

2. The 'line-around' feature.  I used this in the model I attached earlier.
It was simple.

Now.  I cannot for the life of me figure out how to attach bitmaps to the
surfaces, or even paint them with flat color.  But I'm sure it's powerful
and simple, if I can only find the magic keystrokes.

BUT: If they don't fix the exporter to POV, I can't use it.
