You might like the little script I use to automatically go from an input file to a rendered file. Here it is (BTW, as you will see below, Povscript will be called "molscript" after compiling. I rename it povscript.)
#!/bin/bash
#Use dorend [molscript file] [width height] [output name]
# example dorend coils.ms 600 800 coils-zoomed.png
#
if [ $1 ]; then input=$1
else echo "Please pick a Molscript input file. These \".ms\" and \".povs\" files are available:"
echo ; ls *.ms *.povs; echo ; echo -n "Which one? " ;read input
fi
root=`echo $input | awk -F . '{print ($1)}'`
ext=`echo $input | awk -F . 'NF > 1 {print ($NF)}
NF==1 {print ("ms")}'`
if [ $3 ]; then s2=$3; s1=$2
else s1=600; s2=600
fi
if [ $4 ]; then outfile=$4
else outfile=$root.png
fi
#This next line refers to Povscript+, which is called Molscript
molscript -r -size $s1 $s2 < $root.$ext > $root.rd
render < $root.rd >$outfile
rm -f $root.rd
display $outfile &
