No no I'm sorry I wasn't clear.  I just want to use Visual C as the text
editor for doing povray renderings.  I don't want to actually write any
C/C++ code for this.  I just want to be able to open my .pov files with the
Visual C text editor, and to be able to use a command line to actually
perform the render so that I don't have to open the povray gui to do it.
Does that make more sense?
