===Menus===
<p></p>
===Apple Menu===
<p>This is the usual Apple menu found in every application. Among the
usual Apple menu items it contains the "About POV-Ray for Mac
OS..." items which will display the POV-Ray Mac about box.</p>
<p>Hint: In the about box there is a hidden Easter Egg. Type the
tree-letter acronym for the Persistence of Vision Ray-Tracer to uncover
it. For control of the Easter Egg you may use the mouse to move around,
the "+"and "-" keys increase and decrease the
resolution, "r" key increase the recursion level, the
"t" key to reset the recursion level to one, the "a"
key to increase antialiasing quality and the "n" key to
disable the antialiasing again. With the "c" and "l"
key you may switch between moving the light or moving the camera around.
Press any mouse button, press the "q" key or the space bar to
leave the Easter Egg (this may take a few seconds). Note that the Easter
Egg makes use of multiple processors if available.</p>

===File Menu===
<p>The File menu provides all the usual functions for opening, saving
and printing files.</p>
===Edit Menu===
<p>The File menu provides all the usual functions for copy and paste,
undo and redo. It also provides access to the Render Settings dialog and
the Preferences dialog.</p>

===Search Menu===
<p>The search menu provides advanced searching and replacing options.
Seaching based on Regular Expressions is available. The Regular
Expressions work similar to those in the lanuguae Perl.</p>

===Templates Menu===
<p>The Template menu allows you to Import templates from previous Mac OS
versions as well as of the WIndows version of POV-Ray. It also lists all
templates for easy insertion into your scene.</p>

===Render Menu===
<p>The Render menu provides Start, Stop and Pause commands. Note that in
order to start rendering of a scene file its window has to be in
front.</p>
<p>This menu also offers commands to render the official POV-Ray
benchmark scene. This scene is rendered without preview window and not
stored on disk as it is only ment to determine the raw rendering speed,
not the speed of your graphics card or harddisk. Thus, all you get are a
few statistics at the end of rendering. Expect the benchmark to take
over two hours to render on a slow G4.</p>

===Window Menu===
<p>The Window menu provides all the usual functions.</p>

===Help Menu===
<p>The Help menu gives you access to the POV-Ray Help, which contains
the whole documentation of POV-Ray. </p>
