I never had a reason to stop the renders since it finishes within some 20
minutes or so.  Hadn't expected anyone would stop and continue the traces.
Simple oversight of us pre-beta testers, sorry.

It's done similar to animation in that Switch is defined as an integer count
which is taking place and gets sent to the images.ini file which in turn
tells the images.pov how to render the file based on parameters set under
each labeled (numbered) block.

Unfortunately the block selection all seems to take place in the POV source
code so maybe only Chris Cason might be the only one who knows if there's a
way to continue them.
I know you can choose a single one at a time anyhow, by using the images.ini
and selecting the appropriate number for the preview you want to do.  That
means checking into the specific scene file for what number relates to which
preview.  There isn't a list.
