I found the following in the instructions at

Do I just type in the command above into Terminal, replacing
"path-to-ldglite.app" with the path to where I have LDGLITE?
(In my case, it is in a "LDGLtite for OSX" folder in the "Applications"
folder. I'm not that familiar with using Terminal, how would I enter
that path?)
On the Bricksmith side of things, I've determined that it does not
appear to check the folder the opened dat file resides in for submodels.
The files that were not displaying in Bricksmith were ones that just had
commands for positioning submodels, the dat files for the submodels were
in the same folder as the positioning dat. I was able to get those
models to display by cutting and pasting the submodel dat files into the
positioning dat file, and adding a "0 FILE submodelname.dat" line before
each submodel. Should it be working that way?
