Yes and no. The frame number variable exposes some of the inner workings of 
POV-Ray's animation features that are not as logical as they are presented 
in the documentation. Basically, the frame number also sort of indicates if 
animation is on or off. The general rule should be to just not set the 
initial frame number, and then things should work as expected.
