These files are a special class of Desk Accessory which reside in
|
|
|
|
|
the `PREVIEW` subdirectory relative to `DESKTOP2` (next to `DESK.ACC`).
|
|
|
|
|
These DAs will be invoked automatically for certain file types when
|
|
|
|
|
File > Open is run or the files are double-clicked.

The files can optionally be copied into the `DESK.ACC` directory to
|
|
|
|
|
allow direct invocation from the Apple menu. This can be useful to
|
|
|
|
|
preview files of different file types e.g. image files saved as BIN
|
|
|
|
|
$06.
