That may be so, but it does seem inconsistant that the editor won't find 
files referenced by path even though a) the renderer will and b) the editor 
will find files included by a path when the renderer chokes on a parsing 
error.  Frankly, I'm at a loss to understand why this behavior could be 
considered desirable in anything but a Microsoft product.
