Right!
But in the L3Lab case you are lucky, because it also looks in BFC\PARTS
see http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dev/?n=5514
I have often thought about an e.g. LDRAWPATH environment variable
for specifying additional search paths, like
LDRAWPATH=C:\Lego\NewParts;C:\MyParts
or LDRAWPREPATH and LDRAWPOSTPATH for better control of search path.
