Huh? It doesn't do that for me... Perhaps You are trying to use the single
quote for an exact match - it should be the double quote, preferrably no
quote at all.

Has anyone else tested the program, and found it to work?

Yeah, I will do that sooner or later - this was a 30 minutes hack that
became useful... The point is, ldraw.ini doesn't have to exist if I only
have LDraw, and what should the priority be if LDRAWDIR and ldraw.ini are
different - or is it only me that keeps more than one version of ldraw on
the computer (never trust a part update or BlockCAD development :-))

(submodels) lying around in (one of) my PARTS directory, but I don't want

(...) Um, it _was_ working. But I just tried it and it says I have to re-scan again. Come to think of it, the first time I used it, I had to scan twice before it worked. And just now, I scanned, and the window filled up with the list, but typing (...) (28 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)
