Now to the Queue:

In the POV-Ray folder, you'll find a folder called "ini", in which you find
"pvtools.ini" and "pvengine.ini" (that is, if you're using the Windows
version, but the files should basically be the same for other OS', if I'm
not mistaken).
In "pvengine.ini", at the very end, there are the following lines:

[FileQueue]
ReloadOnStartup=1
QueueCount=0

Now, if you want to add files to that, you'd have to add to the QueueCount
and add the files, like this:

QueueCount=2
QueuedFile0=E:\Sources\c.pov
QueuedFile1=E:\Sources\a.pov

Note that the numbering for the QueuedFile begins at 0 and has no leading 0s
when you move beyond 10 or 100 files.

What you should do then, is is just add them to "pvengine.pov" and set
QueueCount on the proper number. If you want them to get rendered
automatically once you start POV-Ray, there's an option called "AutoRender"
somewhere which has to be set to 1 to render automatically.

Hope that helps,
Tim
