(...) The FAQ is not quite correct. Step #1 should be last, not first. Strictly speaking, LDraw 'searches' by trying to access files, named as follows. (This is taken directly from the LDraw code). 'p/' + <filename> 'parts/' + <filename> 'models/' + (...) (24 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
