  the ``/etc/checklist'' file, creating folders as mount points, and
  then executing the ``mount'' command.
 
  If you want the system listed in the Remote Systems folder, the mount
  point must be ``/%%mount_point%%/%%hostname%%'', where %%mount_point%%
  is the  mount point specified by the DTMOUNTPOINT environment

  mount point for remote systems must be ``/nfs/%%hostname%%''.
 
  File systems mounted in other locations are not recognized as remote

<Para>Files with names that end in <ComputerOutput>.pm</ComputerOutput> or
<ComputerOutput>.bm</ComputerOutput> contain icon drawings. These are
the icons that File Manager uses when it builds icons. By default, you
must open these files to see the drawings they contain. If you enable
icon browsing, File Manager will make the icon for each file look like
whatever drawing is stored inside the file.

<Para>The maximum default display area for icons is 32x32 pixels. So, if
a picture file is larger thatn 32x32, the picture will be clipped and
only the top left 32x32 pixels will be shown. You can increase
the size of the display area for icons if you want larger images
to be fully visible. However, a larger display size area will
slow down the opening of folders and icons will be spread
further apart in folder views.
