In 3ds max 9, when I press f9, it renders the top view, even if i have the perspective selected?

How do I change it to render perspective?In 3ds max 9, when I press f9, it renders the top view, even if i have the perspective selected?
Sounds weird. what do you mean by ';have the perspective selected';?


In the render dialog there's a combo-box with the viewport to render.
