#fopen filename "subfolder/file" write
#fopen filename "subfolder\file" write
#fopen filename "subfolder\\file" write
#fopen filename "C:\Users\myusername\Povray\subfolder\file" write

Every one of these fails with "Possible Parse Error: IO Restrictions 
prohibit write access to 'subfolder/file'

What am I missing?

I hadn't. Thank you. Many years since I've used Windows.

That's not Windows related. POV-Ray, under any platform, do impose IO 
restrictions.
