I love being able to stop a long render, do something else, and then pick up 
right where I left off. However today I ran into a problem. I tried to 
"continue" a render job, but the option was no longer available. I had stopped 
and started this job several times over the last few days because it is going 
to take forever on my slow PC. What happened? Why did this option dissappear? 
I restarte the render, stopped it, and there was the continue option again. 
Did I play with too many other files in between?

Help!!

Thanks,

Michael

POVRay (for Windows) only remembers your last run. If you want to
continue a stopped render, click the Ini-button, type "+c" in the
"Command line options" edit and click "Render". It's that simple.

Its been a while since I did anything with POVRay. I'm still getting a feel 
for the basic stuff.
