That's a reasonable goal. We made some similar progress recently in
Windows with the ldraw.ini file. So, where is the Library/Preferences/*
usage documented. I don't know anything about it. Could you point
me to a document like qa1067.html that spells out how the information
is stored/retreived from there?
By the way, how do you feel about /Library/ldraw/ as the default
location for the ldraw directory? As of version 1.0.11 ldglite
looks there by default on OSX if it's not told otherwise.
