In POV-ray 3.7 beta 33 under windows XP SP1, the editor's MRU list incorrectly
handles files that have a comma in the pathname.  Only the part of the name
before the comma appears on the MRU list, but the rest of the name is left off.
 Consequently, the file cannot be reopened via the MRU list.  The file is also
not reopened on launch if pov was closed with the file open.  This also occurs
in 3.6.1, I haven't tried it under 3.6.2 yet.

Interestingly enough, a quick peek in the registry shows that both 3.6 and 3.7
are saving the entire path name correctly under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\POV-Ray\v3.6\POV-Edit\Recent (or
\v3.7\POV-Edit\Recent).

This seems to be limited strictly to the editor's MRU list.  I haven't noticed
this causing any other problems, scenes can be opened using the open dialog,
included files with commas in the path work correctly, and the Tools->Edit last
rendered file/View last rendered file work correctly also.


To duplicate, save a file with a comma in the pathname (either in the directory
name or the filename itself).
