View Ref-FileFAQ - Why doesn't pressing [Esc] re-read the current drive?           Thing

Q: Although I eagerly press  Esc  after changing a floppy disk or 
   cartridge it doesn't recognise the new disk and displays the contents 
   of the old disk. Why is that?

A: Press  Shift  +  Esc  instead. This forces a media change. Some floppy 
   drives have problems recognising a media change  -- that is not Thing's 
   fault!
