I'm fairly new to POVray.
I'm interested in programming some simulations using POVray - but I need to
propagate values from one frame to the next. How do I do that in POVray?
everything I read says that motion is based on the value of the clock
variable but I want to do a forward simulation where I set initial values
and then generate a number of frames based on values calculated according
to frame-by-frame updates.

See section 6.2.3 of the manual, which covers file i/o. You'll need to
write out your values to a text file, and read them back in for the next
frame. I guess it's not the most elegant way of doing things, but it
works.
works fine! - thanks..
