View Ref-FileFAQ - Does Single mode work under MagiC                               Thing

Q: How come applications installed for Single mode will not run?

A: Thing must be installed as a Shell, i.e. you must add an entry in 
   MAGX.INF (immediately prior to the '#_CTR' entry!) which MagiC can look 
   for before picking up 'C:\THING\'.
   Example entry: '#_SHL C:\THING\THING.APP'
   Remember to edit the path to match your system configuration.

Q: I have Thing installed to launch using the  Alternate  key as
   application 0 in MagXDesk but don't seem able to use Single mode?

A: The problem: The 'legal' way to run in Single mode under MagiC is for 
   the calling program to terminate itself on running the application in 
   Single mode; hence after exiting the Single mode program the original 
   shell -- i.e. MagXDesk -- is the active desktop. That is why Thing uses 
   Single mode only if it was itself launched as a system shell -- and not 
   just as application 0.
