Hmmm...  Looks like LEdit handles this just fine as well...  No problems
here.

Is there really any reason to maintain the c:\ldraw\models\etc. structure
for use in future tools in the LDraw multiverse?  Why not allow models to
reside in c:\ldraw\otherstuff\jeremys_models\euro-wing_fighter\ or
d:\someother\directory or e:\temp , e.g. any arbitrary directory that is
accessable from the OS?  LDLite already handles other directories very well
-- it tacks the model's directory onto the parts search path.  The upcoming
LDraw II project might do well to follow this same pattern.

Just a few thoughts...

Cheers,
