Help i need tutorials for Megapov 0.5 out the wazoo cause i can't seem
to get through my thick skull how to do the Pov script.
I need this in a tutorial:
1. Language simple enough for a 4 yo could understand
2. one that assumes that you know absolutely nothing about
the code.
3. one that is understandable after being awake 36 hours.
4. and it should include Media, Isosurface, photons, and
most desperately TEXTURES (Can't figure them out)
So please help me! I'm almost at my wits end i have tried reading the
Povray manual but after 12 hours of work it is totally confusing.
please help me!

Try starting with the POV manuals for the standard version of POV. I
started out that way..... and am improving (I hope)!

For Isosurfaces definately start at Samuel's site:
http://members.aol.com/stbenge/
...and then move over to Mike's page:
http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/isotut/
Just go through each lesson one at a time and try them out. I still
think isosurfaces are confusing but I understand how to use them better
and I'm learning more all them time. I would like to understand more
clearly why each thing works the way it does... for instance why does
"abs" mirror the opposite side, or why does "&" cause an intersection?
etc.

Try to analyze the sample scenes coming along with standard POV. Simply
manipulate them a bit and look what happens. Remember that you can
comment out the old code with "//". So it is easy to undo your
manipulation.
If you manipulate a certain instruction you can read the according
paragraph in the manual.
I know that might be hard, but it works. I hope you have a fast enough
computer for your testings ;-)

How strange.. surely you mean "//" not "file://"?

That was probably your Newsreader, which 'thought' this was the beginning of
a link and extended it. OE does something like that at least.

file://Not for me it doesn't, and I just D/L the IE 5.01 SP1 a few days ago.
Is that the 5.5 beta by any chance? Never mind, it is. I just now looked at
your message post properties. Well that's good news then, thanks for the
insight.

Forget what I said (secondly anyway) because I hadn't realized my OE was now at
version 5.5 despite IE only being 5.01 still. Maybe it's the IE version that
matters? This is OT so maybe I should ask in povray.off-topic while there's a
recent IE 5.5 discussion.
