I'm fairly new to MLCad, and after I recently got ready to delve into the

doesn't act as if it's a tab at all.  Neither of the Browse buttons on the
export config menu will work, and the OK button at the bottom won't work,
either.

My luck, it'll be some sickeningly simple problem I'm overlooking, but I
just thought I'd ask.

I don't use the export function so I can't comment. But if you want to
raytrace, get POVray, install it, then get L3Lab (or L3P) and install it.

What I do to trace is save my MPD with the design I want traced. Then I
launch L3Lab, navigate to my MPD and open it. I then rotate the model around
to look at it from all angles to check for correctness (you can do this in
MLCad too) and say "Write POV file" from the file menu.

Then I doubleclick that file to launch POV and render away.

(well, actually what I do is turn the file into an .inc and embed it in my
background scene that Bram made for me... you can see the results of this
work if you go to my brickbay site or look at my current eBay doodlebug auction)

Hope that helps.

Or were you asking something completely different?
