| Notes |
This is an advanced Frontier verb of primary interest to implementers and advanced scripters. It is not necessary to understand it to use Frontier effectively for most tasks. This is most useful in dealing with Macintosh-specific IAC situations where a fixed value is required by one of the programs involved in the IAC process.
