I'm getting some wierd results now when trying the define a new
output. Mainly this is because I know very little of Perl, so much of
my learning right now consists of "copy/paste" and watch the results.

However, I'm trying to set a new $opt so that I can set the new path,
but it duplicates the $opt{renderflags} for some reason.
I've edited the "default form" so that it has a line called
"RenderFileOut". I added a opt (based on how the rest looks.

$opt{RenderFileOut} = $ARGV[0]; shift(@ARGV);

The added in "my $command =" as the last command

"-filename $opt{RenderFileOut}";

But it duplicates the Renderflag option...

anyidea? (I'm sure you are just laughing...)
