I would like to request the input field for command-line parameters have a
drop-down capability like a Web browser's address bar, allowing one to select
from a list of recently typed command-line sequences.
As things are now, when switching repeatedly between animations or stills I have
to keep a written copy handy and copy/paste each time I want to make changes.
When changing the clock value it's easy to produce typos. Also, the
documentation for the command-line is hard to track down in the manual. When
looking it up in the index it only takes you to a brief overview instead of the
section, "3.2.1.3.6 Built-in Variables".

This is really more appropriate for the Windows group than the POV4 group.
POV-Ray itself is (mostly) OS agnostic. What you're describing is a
feature of the Windows version, which has a built-in GUI. POV itself
doesn't care about the GUI, as you might notice if you try the versions
built for other OSs.

Ummm... I made another post about SDL changes and received a reply that implied
this was the wrong category to post them in. What, then, is exactly the proper
category to post in this group?

Warp didn't mean to say that your post was in the wrong forum (on the
contrary, that post was in exactly the right place).
Rather, he was classifying the type of feature request. There have been
many requests for a revamped SDL, and (afaik) SDL will be altered for POV4.
