With my latest model I had to create nothing more nothing less than 13

Isn't there a better place where I can put those? They are not models,
they are 'mock-up' parts.
If I put them in the Parts directory I will certainly loose track of
them since there ate 1400+ files in there.
Any ideas?

As long as you intend the dat files to just be used locally on your own
computer, you can place the mock-up part files in a subdirectory off of Models.
Say ldraw\models\myparts for instance.

Then, edit your main model file so that the lines calling the mock-up part
files point to the new subdirectory. Like so:
1 16 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 myparts\mockup.dat

If you want to distribute the model, you would have to do one of these:
1.  Leave the file as-is, and have the user place the mock-ups in the correct
subdirectory.
2.  Edit the model file to remove those myparts\ references.
3. Inline all the mock-up parts into the main model.
