So, it seems like the search candidates are:
<MODELDIR> (of the currently loaded model (PROJECTDIR))
<LDRAWDIR>\P
<LDRAWDIR>\PARTS
<LDRAWDIR>\MODELS
<LDRAWDIR>\AnotherDir
<LDRAWDIR>\AnotherDir\SubDir
C:\LDrawXtra\MyParts\In Work
C:\LDrawXtra\MyParts\Done
C:\LDrawXtra\UnOff
all with an option to hide them in certain programs.
How about
LDRAWSEARCH=<MODELDIR>|-<LDRAWDIR>\P|<LDRAWDIR>\PARTS|<LDRAWDIR>\MODELS
as the default (if LDRAWSEARCH is not set)
A full-blown example:
LDRAWSEARCH=-C:\LDrawXtra\MyPrims\In Work|C:\LDrawXtra\MyParts\In Work|
<MODELDIR>|-<LDRAWDIR>\BFC\P|-<LDRAWDIR>\BFC\PARTS|
-<LDRAWDIR>\P|<LDRAWDIR>\PARTS|<LDRAWDIR>\MODELS|
<LDRAWDIR>\MODELS\TEST|C:\LDrawXtra\MyParts\Done
Note that <MODELDIR> changes each time you load a new model.

| (...) A bit wordy, but not bad. How about a few more predefined tags for the standard directories to save environment space? Like using <P> instead of <LDRAWDIR>\P, <PARTS> instead of <LDRAWDIR>\parts, and <MODELS> instead of <LDDRAWDIR>\models? (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
