This menu mainly contains functions to handle files or folders. Please 
note that corresponding applications have to be installed even for showing 
or printing files!

The 'Find...' function is only available if an external search utility 
is specified in the 'System' page of the 'Configuration' dialog box. 
Search utilities can be desk accessories or programs started later, such 
as 'Finder' by Holger Weets.

If Thing is running as a shell under MagiC!2 there is no 'Quit' entry,
because MagiC!2 would re-start Thing automatically.

If Thing is running as a shell under MagiC!3 or later, 'Shutdown' replaces 
'Quit' and is used to shut down Thing and MagiC. For safety this is 
assigned the keyboard shortcut  Shift  +  Control  +  Q .
