Thanks, Ross. That probably means there's a need for an xref function in
the PT, if some part already exists as an official part, it would be better
than saying it couldn't be found. The fact that it couldn't be found
suggests to novice users that it doesn't exist, which is not the case here.

Or in plain english, regardless of whether it's being re-authored, modified,
etc, the PT should be able to tell people if a part already exists. I
haven't seen a simple and easy way of browsing existing official parts on
LDRAW. LDRAW relies on the file name, and not a graphic image of the part.
