How do I change anything in the "command line"? How do I turn the animation
on?

You didn't specify your operating system. If you are using POV-Ray for
windows, there's a command-line field near the resolution dropdown menu.

Again, visit the site I linked to earlier. You will see that it explains this
question and more.

Click on Tools--> Edit Master POVRAY.INI
In this ASCII text file, add the line:
Final_Frame=20
(or if it were commented out with a ; then remove the ; infront of that
line) and save the .INI file.
Now render your image.

That's the hard way of doing it, and not very advisable because from
that point on *every* scene you will render will be rendered as an
animation of 20 frames.
Just writing +KFF20 on the textfield above the editor window will do it.

That's not a workable solution for a serious animation project. One would
have a fixed number of final frames in the project and might want to look
at various different subsets as one tweaks different parts of the story.
Looking up and remembering the +KXYZ switches, and retyping 3 to 4 of them
by hand for EVERY TEST RENDER is just so incredibly user-unfriendly.

Why would you have to retype them for every render? Fact is that you don't,
and editing povray.ini is definetly the absolute wrong way of changing the
setting. Nothing is more trivial than creating a scsne specific INi file.
Maybe you should only give advice that will not screw up a user's setup, or
at least warn about it.

AFAICS, telling someone to go to Clockmod doesn't answer the question of how
to turn on the animation for a newbie.
What I did find in the docs was gibberish about
POVRAY MYOPTS +V OTHER
, which is probably helpful to someone using some DOS-like OS, but no
mention of how to use INI files in the Windows version. Perhaps I'd type
that filename up there in that second white box. You're free to have
indignation at a long-time user not knowing this, but is the answer
rigorously and straightforward-ly there in the docs? I think not.

Really helps, don't you agree!
