Because an MFS effectively becomes a system program in OpenInsight, programmers need information about the interaction between the MFS and the rest of the OpenInsight environment. The MFS programmer must understand not only the specific protocol of calls to the filing system, but what the context is for the calls, and how OpenInsight uses filing system information.
This section provides details about the relationship between BASIC+, MFSs, and underlying filing systems. In some cases, explanations are provided that describe how an MFS programmer can accomplish certain commonly required functions not otherwise available through the basic MFS protocol.
