Exactly, and you don't look for a part named "\3006.DAT" in the PARTS
directory? When you combine the full path to the PARTS directory with
the part filename you have to add the "\" yourself, right? So I know

Ah, but %WINDIR% is already platform specific so it's OK there.
By the way, are you suggesting we might allow environemnt variables
in the paths inside the ldraw.ini file? Perhaps something like
%USERPROFILE%\PARTS or $HOME/models depending on the platform?

the code that parses it. :^)
