Create a new texture, add a pigment to it (rightclick the texture, choose
"pigment") add an image-map to the pigment (rightclick the pigment, choose
"imagemap"). While the image-map element is selected in the TE-tree you can
modify it in the middle-part of the TE, for example, choose the file (GIF or
TGA) you want to map.
For more, see the docs, also the POV-Ray docs.

POV->MDL not directly in Moray. But there is the POV2MDL tool (for POV 2.2
scenes or so I think) to be found here:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/thbaier/tools.htm
MDL->POV: Of course, this is what Moray does with each render :-) Or you
choose "Export" in the "Render" menu (CTRL+F9).

Check out 3DWin that comes with Moray. In the "Tools" Menu!

Greetings, Johannes.
