Yes, that's correct. Well, I haven't checked lately, hold on....
er, never mind. I'm wrong. My bad.
LDraw and LEdit *will* add a '.dat' extension to a filename you specify
on the command line, so the command:
ldraw tt
will cause ldraw to attempt to render a file named 'tt.dat'. But it
*won't* locate and render a file named 'tt'. To do that, you need the
command line:
ldraw tt.

Apparently, you shouldn't bother.
