I'm wondering if after setting my animation variables (+kfi and +kff) on the 
command line (using POV for windows) if I can use those settings in my scene 
file.
I need something like this:
    #declare fps = 24;
    #declare seconds = clock * total_frames / fps;

    where total_frames is set on the command line.

I think that the variable you want is called "final_frame".

Also available are "frame_number", "initial_frame", "initial_clock",
"final_clock", "clock_delta" and "clock_on".
