Yes, it does - but don't ask me why... ;-)
OK, here some more information:

povray.ini (in POV-Ray\renderer):
[...]
Library_Path=C:\Programme\POV-Ray\renderer
Library_Path=C:\Programme\POV-Ray\INCLUDE
Library_Path=C:\WINDOWS\Fonts
[...]

Entry at the command line field:
alpha (to call the file "alpha.ini" in POV-Ray\renderer

Rendering any file with these settings results in this messages:
[...]
Possible Command Line Error: Could not open INI file 'Alpha'.
Parsing Options
  Input file: C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Jochen\Eigene
Dateien\POV-Ray\Scenes\Test 01.pov (compatible to version 3.5)
  Remove bounds........On  Split unions........Off
  Library paths: C:\Programme\POV-Ray\renderer
    C:\Programme\POV-Ray\INCLUDE C:\WINDOWS\Fonts
[...]

If I put the line "Library_Path=C:\Programme\POV-Ray\renderer" into
quickres.ini (e.g. into the "160x120, No AA" section), it works. Same
library paths shown in the message window, of course. And it also works, if
I enter "+LC:\Programme\POV-Ray\renderer alpha" into the command line
instead of the single "alpha". Doesn't make any sense to me. I would be
glad if you observed the same, otherwise I'd better see a doctor... ;-)
