Quick followup with more notes:
I have MLCad set to be my default program to load LDraw files. It works just
fine with opening files on my hard drive, but it will fail to open the file
when LUGNET passes it 'ldraw.cgi.' Is this an MLCad problem? (I think).
I tried changing the default in Win2k, and when I did, it still opened in
MLCad. I went into the .ldr file assocation, and changed the default program
it opens with to LDView. It still opened in MLCad. I'm confused.
