Chris,

Thank you very much for listening to the concerns that we've brought up!  I
really appreciate it, and I'll look forward to future versions.

Just a brief comment - I use POV-Ray with some scripting tools, and it would
be nice if whatever warning you display can be 'clicked through' using
key-strokes only.  The Windows mouse input API is fairly unreliable and
broken, so a key-strokes only script is much more desirable.

Thanks again for all your efforts!

David
