It works for me too. So we should check the user's home directory
for an ldraw.ini file containing an [LDRAW_SEARCH] section, then if not
found look in the ldraw.ini file in Windows directory.
For myself, because of platform portability considerations, I'll still
check the environment variable LDRAW_SEARCH before looking for an
ldraw.ini file. I'll separate the entries in the environment variable
with the "|" character. However, I'm undecided whether to require
a HIDE or SHOW tag, or use only <HIDE> and make SHOW the default. Will
anyone else be using the environment variable, and if so do you have
a preference?
