I am a dedicated Mac person, but my current circumstances require me to
use a Windows 98 machine for  a lot of work, and I'm trying to figure
out how to set up POV-Ray for Windows to render the .tga files. Is there
an online tutorial somewhere? or is it hidden in the docs?

I know it seems a basic question, but I don't understand command line
instructions, and .ini files are kind of strange for someone who's been
on the Mac for 10 years.

If you go to the Render menu item and pic the first one Edit
Settings/Render go to the Command line option and put a +kff# #=number
of frames. That will start the animation and go to the disired number of
frames. To make it do targas and not .bmp's give a +ft to the command
line and that will output. .tga. Hope that helps.
