hmm its seems to have printed some errors on start-up that i missed... here
they are..

-Possible Parse Error: Could not find file 'functions.inc'

File benchmark.pov line 3

-Parse Error: Cannot open include file functions.inc.

File benchmark.pov line 3

-Parse Warning: Check that the file is in a directory specifed with a +L
switch or 'Library_Path='
..INI item. Standard include files are in the include directory or folder.
Please read your
documentation carefully.

File benchmark.pov line 3

I don't know if that answers your question.. upon render no errors were
printed in the message box... only these that were there upon start-up.
Any ideas?
