I installed PovRay and L3P and both do run, but L3P can't find the proper

specify the batch file as properties of L3P and so on, but still no effect.
Also tried with LDraw, L3P and a model file in the same root directory.
I run Win NT. Does anybody know how to set an environment variable in
Windows NT such that L3P will know it?

On Windows NT, the environment is loaded from the registry, instead of a batch
file.  To set your environment, either right-click on My Computer and go to
"Properties", or go to the System applet in the Control Panel.  From here, go
to the "Environment" tab.  You'll probably want to set LDRAWDIR in the user
environment, not the system enviroment.  After setting your environment
variable, you will see it in new processes (if you had a command-line prompt
open previously, it won't show up there.)
