MagicMOD plays a ST/NT/PT MOD using the PTReplay.library
by Mattias Karlsson.  For this reason, you must move the
PTREPLAY.LIBRARY file to LIBS: before attempting to run
MagicMOD.  Once it is started, a window opens with five
gadgets to control the playback of the MOD:

 Load Mod   (disk) Opens an ASL file requester to load a
                   new MOD.  In jukebox mode, selects a
                   new MOD from the MOD path at random.
 Restart      |<   Stops a MOD and returns its play
                   position to the beginning.  Allows
                   other MagicMOD and MOD players to use
                   the audio channels.
 Pause        []   Stops a MOD at its current position.
 Play         ->   Begins playing a MOD or continues play
                   of a MOD from its current position.
 Rewind       <<   Moves play position back one pattern.
 Fast Forward >>   Moves play position forward one
                   pattern.

Close the window to exit.

When run as a Workbench tool, MagicMOD will play one
selected project icon.  This can be done by clicking the
MagicMOD icon, holding shift, and double-clicking on a
MOD's project icon.  You can also set the default tool of
the MOD's project icon to MagicMOD's pathname, then
double-clicking on the icon.  If you double-click only on
the MagicMOD icon, an ASL file requester will appear,
prompting you for a MOD's pathname.

Tooltypes read when run as a Workbench tool:

  FULLPLAY       - Play once, no loop, fewer control
                    buttons.
  SCREEN=<name>  - Open on public screen <name>.
  MINIMIZE       - Open as titlebar window.
  MODPATH=<path> - Default MOD path (for ASL req.)
	JUKEBOX        - Play random MODs from the MOD path.
                   Overrides MOD selection.

To run MagicMOD from the Shell, type:

  MagicMOD [<MOD File>] [FULLPLAY] [SCREEN PubScreenName]
       [MINIMIZE] [MODPATH <MOD Path>] [JUKEBOX] [?]

    <MOD File> - If specified, MagicMOD will play the
                 MOD.  If not specified, an ASL file
                 requester will prompt you for a MOD's
                 pathname, using the optional MODPATH
                 parameter as the default path.

    FULLPLAY   - If specified, the MOD will be played
                 through once and will not loop.  Also,
                 the MagicMOD window will open with no
                 load gadget.  This option is useful if
                 you have a directory with several MODs,
                 for which you may type:

  execute spat MagicMOD <MOD File Pattern> FULLPLAY

                 and have each MOD that matches the
                 pattern played.

    SCREEN     - If used, the MagicMOD window will open
                 on the public screen given.

    MINIMIZE   - If used, the window opened will be the
                 size of its title bar.

    MODPATH    - Use this to specify a MOD path when no
                 MOD is given or the MOD given cannot
                 load. (for ASL req.)

    JUKEBOX    - Plays MODs from the MOD path at random.
                 The disk icon then selects new MODs at
                 random.  Overrides MOD selection.

    ?          - Displays the command template for
                 MagicMOD.
