Which is why I didn't want to make you feel pressured to do that just for my 
own sake. I'm sure you would rather consider this new 3.6 version finished.

The way it's an update to 3.6 I know most people will find all this to be a 
problem, too, when they try to go from the old to new. I thought it might 
not matter if no previous file were already left open in 3.6.1c when last 
used. What I really didn't expect (but probably should have) was 3.6.2 
finding one elsewhere even when no open files were left in editor, by going 
into File|Open.

For me, not so much a problem if the file view settings had not locked me 
out. That made me believe it was causing trouble for either Windows, or POV 
itself had difficulty interfacing with the file system, or whatever other 
reason unknown to me. I've only kept everything as administrator status, no 
other user account exists.
