Okay, try putting "l3p.exe" in "c:\windows". If that doesn't work, try
"C:\windows\command". If neither of those works, check your autoexec.bat for
any statements that start with "PATH=". If there isn't one, put one in, like
"PATH=c:\ldraw\l3p\" and make sure "l3p.exe" is there.
A PATH statement just tells the computer where to check if the file or command
is not located in the current directory (actually, it may check the PATHed
directory first, I'm not sure).

Sure, just put a PATH statement to a different drive (d:\ldraw\l3p\) in your
autoexec.bat.
