Never mind and sorry, to an extent... I think I now see why the INI files (etc)
were forced into \Documents (sorry, I should have done that forum research
BEFORE I made my post).

Okay, then... I can assume that it will be this way (probably) for 3.7, as a way
of coping with the Vista "Program Files and Ini Files" problem.

Can I ALTER POVRay so that all files (includes, ini's, etc) are copied (moved)
from D:\Documents into C:\POV-Ray, and this will be recognized and it will work
properly? (I THINK I see how to do this, but better wait for a reply or three
before I try it).

How do I fix the Help File problem? POV-Ray 3.6.2 under Vista (installed into
C:\POV-Ray) is not invoking the help file (povray36.chm). I have to do invoke
the help file manually/ separately. I CAN work with this, but it is
inconvenient. (and kind of foolish... clicking "HELP" does not "help". Its kind
of like... you hire contractors to build you a new house, but your porch light
switch turns on the dishwasher, and turning on the dishwasher does nothing...
or perhaps raises your neighbor's garage door).
