But you don't declare LDRAWDIR as C:\LDraw\, i.e. with a trailing backslash.
We also use %WINDIR%\ldraw.ini and not %WINDIR%ldraw.ini.
I think most variable substitution in any (script) language uses explicit delimiters
in stead of having delimiters as part of the variable.
Probably because it difficult to remove the trailing delimiter in cases it is not needed.

Thanks, I'll have a look.

I already had the MIME-types in mind, but it should have been a surprise :-)
