I see, sorry if I was ignoring that but I was trying to understand the lack
of external file paths for that feature.  I had thought I could open
anything from anywhere before if it had a Library_Path to it so that's why I
suspected something had changed too.

So it comes down to the fact that only certain paths to files specified by
the POV-Ray installation and which are "standard" can be accessed (file
restrictions used or not).  What I'm unsure of is which ones those are, I'd
guess the include subfolder is pretty obvious, Coridon seems to have checked
other places.  Easy enough to find out myself which others are accessible as
well, if they actually can be.

Still, it might be good to document which ones are used (only the include
and current folder?).  If they were not mentioned specifically due to
differing directory layouts of various system platforms I can understand
that being generalized.
