If ldglite is just floating around in your applications folder then you
would do
ln -s /Applications/ldglite.app/Contents/MacOS/ldglite ~/ldglite
and a file (actually a soft link--something kinda like a Mac alias)
named ldglite would appear in your home directory. If you are not
familiar with the terminal, then I wouldn't recommend using the command
line version of the program (unless you are really gung ho about doing
it the old fashion way or learning about the terminal :).
Don just wanted some of the programmy stuff that gets printed to the
terminal window as ldglite launches. He doesn't know(remember) that when
you launch the bundle (the one you have) all that programmy stuff gets
written to the console which you can read if you want by using a program
called, of all things :), Console (in /Applications/Utilities).
However, I don't think he needs that stuff. I think the problem was (see
the other post) that ldglite couldn't find the LDRAW directory, and it
was simply drawing the parts that had been defined within the dat file.

I can't comment on this one.
