Hi,
  You can do this with two VMD commands:
"render default" will show you the default VMD rendering command
executed for a given scene format. So, for POV-Ray, you can query
it like this:
  vmd > render default POV3
  povray +W%w +H%h -I%s -O%s.tga +D +X +A +FT

To query or change the rendering command, use "render options", e.g.:
query:
  vmd > render options POV3
  povray +W%w +H%h -I%s -O%s.tga +D +X +A +FT

set:
  vmd > render options POV3 {/path/to/my/renderer/povray +W%w +H%h -I%s -O%s.tga +D +X +A +FT}

query updated command:
  vmd > render options POV3
  /path/to/my/renderer/povray +W%w +H%h -I%s -O%s.tga +D +X +A +FT
 
Cheers,
