Maybe reading the documentation and the tutorial that comes with it is a good
starting point...

If you look in the help you will find some commandline swithces that
change the default output option for the renderer.

Do you mean like "I've got a gif that I want to use in my
scene"? In that case, take a look at the docs under 'image
map'.

Try the documentation!
POV 3.0: press the yellow DOCS button
POV 3,1: press the 'scene' button

Thank you!
Text (written in any TrueType font) can be rendered using
the text object. Again, the documentation explains about all
this. It is a very useful source of information to have
around.

Hi, Bruce,
Nope - by default POV-Ray will output 24-bit or truecolor images. Jpg is
24-bit but has undergone a reduction in file size using file compression
techniques. You can easily convert the default .bmp or .tga (if you're using
POV-Ray for Windows or MS-DOS) to .jpg or .gif using third party programs
such as Paint Shop Pro v5 or CompuPic. There are other image
conversion/editor programs available but I have no experience with them.
