OK, I renamed all of them. I selected and ran JesusLovesYou2_single_frame.ini
and I got

Preset INI file is 'D:\WWW\JESUSNJIM\RAYTRACE\JOHN3_16-17.INI'.
Preset source file is
'D:\www\Jesusnjim\raytrace\JesusLovesYou2_single_frame.ini'.
-
Cannot open INI file 'D:\WWW\JESUSNJIM\RAYTRACE\JOHN3_16-17.INI'.
Failed to start render: Failed to parse INI file

so why is it reading the wrong .ini file?

even biscuit won't go. maybe it's time to reboot. been sleeping the win7 machine
for a week.
