   [#] magic.d -- Disc magic   
   --.   
   "XYZZY" at the beginning of the first line of SCR#0 marks the disc as   
   magic. The next word is a key word that identifies the disc and   
   following text on the line is a title.   
      
   A magic disc contains meta information as to its size, e.g.  max   
   number of blocks, and arrangement, e.g. where error messages are   
   located. On first access SCR#1 defines meta words that pertain to the   
   the disc and SCR#2 is the screen first loaded afterwards that refresh   
   disc meta word values. Usually in SCR#0 a word is defined to "use" the   
   disc and load SCR#2.   
      
   "MAIN" is the primary magic disc and serves as a library.  On "GO"   
   MAIN is placed in use, SCR#0 is loaded, and a configuration script is   
   found and executed to extend Toad.   
      
   Another magic disc is "WORK" containing error messages, and little   
   code if any. It is used when Toad already is configured for its   
   desired functionality and does not have much need for additional code   
   from MAIN. Toad is then operational and may use WORK as scratch disc   
   and for virtual memory.  Toad can bang on WORK with little fear of   
   loosing code if anything goes awry.   
      
   When MAIN is first accessed, it defines the word "LIB" which can be   
   used afterwards to use MAIN and load its SCR#2.  When WORK is first   
   accessed, it defines the word WORK which can be used to use WORK and   
   load its SCR#2.  On Toad startup, or after "EMPTY", GO entered will   
   run first access of MAIN to load Toad's configuration and profile.   
   The script may then leave MAIN and use WORK for first access.   
   Afterwards, discs can be changed from one to the other by LIB and   
   WORK.
