My prompt looks like this: [sjlen:sjlen]$
and consits of username:directory.
[sjlen:sjlen]$ tar -xzvf povlinux.tgz
.....
listing from the tar command appears here.
.....
[sjlen:sjlen]$ cd povray35/
[sjlen:povray35]$ su
Password: ##### type root's password here.
[root@zero-pps povray35]# ./install
[root@zero-pps povray35]# exit
exit
[sjlen:povray35]$ cd ##### takes you back home.
[sjlen:sjlen]$ cd pov ##### directory where I know there are .pov files.
[sjlen:pov]$ povray -ipovtest.pov
And it goes and renders. In X and in the console the comandline is the
same.
You could check out my PovMenu system for RXVTs if you like, but when
you're just starting out with it it's probably bes to mess about with
the command line.
You should have a .povrayrc file in your home directory.
Hope some of this helps.

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.
