I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Do you mean "USERS need the
ability to specify", or "programs need the ability to READ"? Either way,
that approach is for advanced users (software geeks) only. We're trying
to improve things for ordinary users, and forcing them run a command
prompt to use their preferred non-standard settings in their LDRAW
programs is just wrong. Even for an advanced user, how is this better
than just setting an environment variable right before running the
program?
