View Ref-FileDisplay - Save Display Options                                        Thing

This menu entry allows one to save the 'As Text/Mini-icons/Icons', the 
sort order and the mask settings of the current directory window; they are 
saved to a file 'THING.IDX' within this directory. If one opens this 
directory again at some future time then the saved settings will be 
adopted and will also apply to all lower-lying directories -- so long as 
they haven't had their own settings saved in them separately.

The use of a file for this purpose has the advantage that the display 
options saved in this way will be included if the directory is copied or 
moved, and can also be passed on to others, say in an archive.


      To get rid of the saved display options it's enough to simply 
      delete the file 'THING.IDX' in the relevant directory.
