John,
You can save any part you download in the Parts directory, then either run
Mklist.exe or File>Scan Parts in MLCad to add it to the parts list and use
it in a model.

To make those parts I actually had to modify the subpart 971s01 to what I
called 971s0f. But so people would not have to add subparts also, you'll
notice I just commented out the line which references the subpart and put
both 971f and 971s0f in one DAT file (so it's not even an MPD). If anyone
has any desire/need to split them into part and subpart it would be quite
easy.

Cheers,

I know, I know... but the file I download is not an LDraw part.  Under
properties its listed as just 'file' under file trpe.  Any suggestions?
Also, how do you modify subparts?
