Unless I'm misunderstanding, I think you would be much better off if you drop
".ldrawdir" from the plist filename above. That way the file can contain other
settings in the future in addition to the LDRAWDIR setting you have now. Or put
something else in place of ".ldrawdir" (".apps"?). I don't know anything about
the Mac OS X preference heirarchy, but I don't think it's a good idea to have a
separate plist file for each setting. (Surely Apple doesn't encourage this, do
they?)
