Are you talking about the one in the standard example scenes? 
scenes/objects/box.pov? The one I have doesn't have any reflection. Did 
you modify it? Where do you see it?

Data for displaying what? What exactly do you want?
The Reflect() function is called when POV computes a reflected ray. If 
the scene doesn't use reflection, it is never called. It has nothing to 
do with anything being displayed, other than being one step in the 
process of computing the final pixel color. Do you want the output 
image? That has nothing to do with reflection, and is a completely 
different part of the code.
