| <P><FONT FACE="Verdana, sans-serif">If you only define a file and do |

| <P><FONT FACE="Verdana, sans-serif">The second case is not less |

| <P><FONT FACE="Verdana, sans-serif">you do not need to write any |

| <P><FONT FACE="Verdana, sans-serif">If you build a Windows script, in |

| assignments and writes</FONT></P> |
