View Ref-FileFAQ - Can I use the MagiC MGFORMAT.PRG with Thing?                    Thing

Q: Can I use the MagiC MGFORMAT.PRG with Thing? I have installed 
   MGFORMAT.PRG in the 'External programs' area of the 'System' page in 
   the 'Configuration' dialog but two dialogs always appear! Why?

A: You can! MGFORMAT expects a command line parameter which tells it 
   whether to format or copy disks. When MGFORMAT is installed as an 
   application, Thing will also respect the settings if it is called 
   with the 'File' > 'Format Disk...' menu entry.
 
   To use MGFORMAT.PRG to always format disks and avoid the dialogs:
 
   1. Install MGFORMAT.PRG as an application
   2. Enter '-f' as the command line parameter
   3. Install MGFORMAT.PRG using the  Format >  button in the 'External 
      programs' area of the 'System' page in the 'Configuration' dialog.
