View Ref-FileFile - Save                                                        ThingIcn

With this command the icon assignments are saved to the file ICONS.INF.
Invalid assignments that were recognised when reading in the file will be 
included as comments at the start. With a multitasking system, a parallel-
running Thing will be notified immediately that the icon assigments have 
changed, and after a safety query these will be loaded in.

During saving, ThingIcn sorts the assignments automatically so that the 
most common wildcards lie at the end of the file. This is necessary because 
Thing searches through the assignments in the order that they lie in 
ICONS.INF. Without this sorting the icon for, say, 'DISKUS.APP' would 
never be used if an earlier assignment for '*.APP' was found.


      An ICONS.INF saved by ThingIcn version 1.10 or higher requires at
      least Thing 1.20 in order to be read correctly. If one has assigned 
      a '*' to a standard icon, then at least Thing 1.25 is required to
      ensure correct results are obtained.
