Thanks for the insights folks. jr hit the nail on the head. I was escaping the
res[Low] with everything but the right delimiters, backticks. So, it should look
like this:

povray `res[Low]` test.pov

I dropped the +I flag as well. Now, it doesn't throw the error, BUT, it doesn't
parse the file either for the different render resolutions. Still getting my
default 800x600 render no matter what. It appears that none of the other stock
"res" .ini files work either so there's probably something else amiss. Checked
the path settings and everything else appears proper. Well, one step forward at
least and onward ...

Cheers.
