  Better:

[sjlen:pov]$ povray povtest.pov

  You can use filename completion that way.

Don't know about this, I've never tried the histogram thingie whatever
that is. And the -h version doesn't seem to work in thes version, so not
as easy to find out about command line options quickly.

DOS had a fixed-size window, and who knows how big your console will
be?

OK, a few fixed sizes then :) It's not as if you could drag the corner
of your SSH console window and make your screen 200x6 or something
like that.

  How is this possible? Every xterm I have seen has a completely free size.

I think it's just you, or maybe it's settable in .Xdefaults or via the 
command line.
