The Explore Path, the second line of the screen, displays the
criteria that Magellan uses to select files for the List Window.

There are several ways to change the Explore Path:
■  Use Explore (F9) to choose an explore file group and (optionally)
   to specify search text you want Magellan to find in your files.
■  Use Path (Alt-F9) to type an explore file group name, file
   specifications, and (optionally) search text directly into the
   Explore Path.
■  Use Tree (Alt-F6) to display directories as well as files in the
   List Window.

Magellan needs to refer to an index if you use search text in the
Explore Path.  Use Index (Alt-F5) to see which index is the current
index and to update it if necessary.

The Information Line is beneath the List and View Windows on the
Magellan screen.

Beneath the List Window, the Information Line shows:
■  The number of files in the List Window.
■  The number of the file highlighted in the List Window.
■  The number of bytes taken up by the files in the List Window
   (if you expand the List Window using Zoom (F8)).

Beneath the View Window, the Information Line typically shows:
■  The name and path of the highlighted file.
■  The name of the viewer being used to display the file.
■  The number of the line containing the cursor (for some viewers).
■  The cursor location as a percent of the file size (for some
   viewers).  Example: 50% means the cursor is halfway through a
   file.

To enter FIND mode:
■  Just start typing while the cursor is in the List or View Window.
■  If the string you want to find contains a + (Plus), - (Minus), or
   = (Equals), use Compose (Alt-F1) to enter the character.
While in FIND mode:
■  Magellan will move the cursor to the first occurrence of the
   characters you typed, or beep if does not find a match.
■  You can press + (Plus) to move the cursor to the next occurrence of
   the string, or - (Minus) to move to the previous occurrence.

Tác⌠5	F┘M"R■ 8MSearching for Files
Magellan provides several commands that let you search among and
within your files in different ways.  If you want to:
■  Search for files based on file name, location, or date, use
   Explore (F9), Path (Alt-F9), Tree (Alt-F6), or
   command line arguments to specify the files you want
   Magellan to display in the List Window.  For example: All files
   or C:\123\DATA after 1-1-90.
■  Search for files based on their contents, you can perform either:
   ■ An index-based search (fuzzy search) to locate files with
   contents similar to the text you specify.  First use Index (Alt-F5)
   to create an index of the files you want to search, and then using
   Explore (F9), Path (Alt-F9), or command line arguments to specify a
   group of files and the desired search criteria.
   ■ Or, a non-index-based search to find the files in the List Window
   that contain the exact text string you type.  Use FIND mode or
   Mark (Alt-F3) Text.

4MDialog Boxes - General Description
Magellan displays a dialog box whenever it needs to provide
information for you or to get information from you.  The help screen
you are looking at now is an example of a dialog box.

A dialog box may contain:
■  A list of options from which to choose.
■  Fill-in fields in which you enter information.
■  A set of choices to pick from on an option line.
■  Options followed by an ellipsis (example: Setup...) leading to
   another dialog box.
■  Instructions on how to complete the box or other information.

Forward                     Retrace                 Main Menu (F1)EFÄR■ 5MUsing Dialog Boxes
Magellan displays a prompt to help you complete the command at the
bottom of each dialog box.  The prompt changes as you move the cursor
within the dialog box.

■  Use Up, Down, Right, or Left to move the cursor among options and
   choices.
■  Move to a dialog box option by typing its first letter when the
   letter is highlighted.  If the option is in the right column of
   the dialog box, this completes the command.
■  Magellan opens a second dialog box when you select an option
   that is followed by an ellipsis (...).  Move to the option and
   press Enter, or type the first letter of the option.
■  Pressing Enter once or twice will complete the command.
■  Press Esc to leave a dialog box without completing the command.

Some dialog box options have a field ([·····················]) in
which you can enter text.

There are three ways to move the cursor into a fill-in field:
■  Type the first character of the option name.
■  Move the cursor to the option and press Space Bar or Right.
■  Press Down or Up from the fill-in field just above or below.
Once the cursor is in a fill-in field, you can:
■  Use editing keys to edit an entry already in the field.
■  Type a new entry.  In some fields, this entry can be @FILE where
   FILE is the name of an ASCII file (in your Magellan program
   directory unless you specify a path) that contains the entry.
■  Press + (Plus) or Tree (Alt-F6), move the cursor to a destination
   in the tree structure, and press Enter.
■  Press PgUp or PgDn to scroll backward and forward through the
   history list of fill-in field entries.

F$R■ CÄ8MSelecting Options from a Dialog Box
There are two ways to select an option from a dialog box:
■  Use the cursor-movement keys to move the cursor to an option.
■  If a letter in the option name is highlighted, press that key.

Selecting an option by typing a letter will only work in the left
column of the Backup (Ctrl-F1), Explore (F9), Index (Alt-F5), Launch
(F7), and Macro (Alt-F7) dialog boxes if you open the Setup dialog
box for that option and put a ^ character before the letter you want
to highlight.

Retrace            Custom Dialog Box Options            Main Menu (F1)FR■ 8MCustom Dialog Boxes
You can create your own dialog boxes to customize access to Magellan
commands or your own macros.  Type the specifications for your dialog
box in a text file with the following format:
Title, e.g., Work
Option, e.g., ^Spreadsheet
Prompt, e.g., Run Lotus 1-2-3
Macro Key or Keystrokes to be executed when this option is selected,
e.g., {AltS}

Leave blank lines between each item and repeat the last three items
up to 13 more times to add additional options.  Finally, include the
following keyword sequence in the Keystrokes fill-in field of the
Macro Setup dialog box: {Dialog}FILENAME.DLG{Enter}, where
FILENAME.DLG is the text file you created.  Specify a path for
FILENAME.DLG unless it is located in the Magellan program directory.

When modifying Magellan for your own work setting, it is sometimes
helpful to create custom message boxes to give special information, or
to give instructions for the next step of a macro.

1.  Use a text editor to type up to 16 lines, with up to 60 characters
    per line.
2.  In the Macro Setup dialog box, complete the fields as you would
    normally, but use the following keywords in the Keystrokes fill-in
    field, alone or as part of a larger macro:
    {Message}C:\WORK\FILENAME.MSG{Enter}
3.  Replace C:\WORK\FILENAME.MSG with the path and file name of the
    file you made.  The path is unnecessary if the file you created is
    located in the directory containing your Magellan program files.

PúR■ F0#I4MFuzzy vs. Exact Matches
You can use Explore (F9) or Path (Alt-F9) to find files concerning
a search string you specify (for example, to find all files
containing the word "telephone").  This is called a fuzzy search.

During a fuzzy search, Magellan searches the current index and finds
all files with exact or fuzzy matches.  An exact match would be a
file containing the word "telephone" or "Telephone" (searches are not
case sensitive).  Several common word suffixes are stripped from
words when they are indexed, so a file containing the word
"telephones" or "telephoned" would be considered a fuzzy match.

Files with matches are shown in the List Window; those with the most
matches are at the top.  Next to each file is a percentage which
reflects the degree of match.  Any files containing exact matches are
also marked with an arrow.

Retrace       Fuzzy Searches       Indexing Files   Main Menu (F1)EI;R■ I?4MIndexing Files
Magellan needs to refer to an index to find files concerning a search
string you specify.  Typically, you will create one index of all the
files on your hard disk, but you can also create several indexes for
different sets of files.  In the Index (Alt-F5) Setup dialog box, you
can specify which drives are to be indexed, and which files are to be
EXCLUDED from the index, such as binary files with the extensions
.COM, .EXE. etc.  Use Index (Alt-F5) Update to create an index of
your files or to update an existing index.
Magellan will refer to the first index in the Index (Alt-F5) dialog
box during a fuzzy search unless:
■  You select a different index using Index (Alt-F5) Choose,
■  You select an explore file group that has a different index
   assigned to it in the Filespec field of the Explore (F9) Setup
   dialog box, or
■  You specify a different index following the word USING in the
   Explore Path.

Examples:
■  If the program you want to launch is 1-2-3 and is in the LOTUS
   directory on drive C, enter C:\LOTUS.
■  If the directory containing the program you want to launch is in
   your DOS path, you can leave this field blank so that Magellan
   will always run the program from the current directory.

NOTE: If the program to which you are launching produces another

In the Filespec fill-in field, enter the specification (that is, the
filespec) of the files that the program creates or uses.  This
information will help Magellan select an appropriate option from the
Launch dialog box based on the file name, extension, and/or path of
the current file.  You can use wildcards in the Filespec fill-in field.
Example:
■  If you enter *.wk1 in the Filespec field for the 1-2-3 launch
   setup, and the current file ends in .WK1, the cursor will be
   on the 1-2-3 launch option when you press Launch (F7).
When you press Launch, Magellan compares the Filespec fill-in field
of the first launch option with the path of the current file.  If it
doesn't match, Magellan checks the contents of the Viewer fill-in
field.  If it doesn't match, Magellan goes on to the next launch
option, and continues in this manner until it finds a match.  Thus,
it's a good idea to arrange the launch options so that the most
specific and most often-used ones are at the top of the dialog box.

activate the Launch (F7) dialog box, type its name in the Viewer
fill-in field.  You can press + (Plus) to have Magellan display a
list of possible viewer names, move the cursor to the one you want,
and press Enter.

When you press Launch, Magellan compares the Filespec fill-in field
of the first launch option with the path of the current file.  If it
doesn't match, Magellan compares the contents of the Viewer fill-in
field with the viewer Magellan has automatically selected for the
current file.  If it doesn't match, Magellan goes on to the next
launch option, and continues in this manner until it finds a match.
Therefore, it's a good idea to arrange the launch options so that the
ones you use most and that are the most specific are at the top of
the dialog box.

In the Keystrokes fill-in field, specify the keystrokes that the
launched program uses to load the current file, or any keystrokes you
want to issue when you launch the program.  The keystrokes you enter
will be issued only if you choose Load (not Run) from the Launch
dialog box.  You can also type @FILE in this fill-in field, where
FILE is an ASCII file containing the desired keystrokes.  Most
keywords will work in this fill-in field.

Example:
To import an ASCII file into WordPerfect without Magellan, you would
wait for the program to start, initiate the appropriate command,
enter a file name including path, press Enter, press Down, and type
T.  If you have a Magellan launch setup to handle the task, Magellan
enters the required keystrokes for you when you launch an ASCII file
into WordPerfect.  The keystrokes can be represented in the
Keystrokes fill-in field as follows: {Pause10}{F5}{Path}{Enter}{Down}T.

When you issue an Explore (F9) or Path (Alt-F9) command or use
command line arguments that involve search criteria, Magellan refers
to an index of your files to find those that are similar to text you
specify.  This is called a fuzzy search.  Following a fuzzy search:
■  Magellan assigns an explore rank to every file that matched your
   search string.  The more similar the file is to your search string,
   the higher the ranking.
■  Files containing an exact match are given an explore rank of 75% or
   greater and appear with an arrow pointing to the file name in the

Choose the Text option when you want Magellan to search the selected
explore file group for files with contents similar to the text you
enter in this field, including those that contain the exact text you
enter.  For example, to find general budget information about the
Widget Company, enter: budget widget.

To find only those files that contain any of the words exactly as you
enter them in the Text fill-in field, type the words between
quotations marks, preceded by an equal sign.  For example, ="budget
widget".  You can use other search criteria modifiers in addition to
= (Equals) by surrounding the search string(s) with quotation marks.

If your entry includes one of the words that appears first on a line
in the MAGELLAN.SYN file, Magellan will also search for the other

eUR■ 8MSearch Criteria Modifiers
■  There is no need for qualifiers such as AND or OR in a
   fuzzy search, though they are allowed.  If you want to explore a
   group of files for area code 415, and the name Smith, your search
   string entry would be: 415 Smith.
■  You can exclude certain text strings from a fuzzy search by using
   the modifier NOT.
   Example: All files Concerning "415" not "Smith"
   would return files with references to 415, except those that also
   refer to Smith.
■  You can also type an = (Equals) before a search string when you
   want Magellan to search for exact matches only.

If you use the modifiers AND, OR, NOT, or = in the Explore Path or in
the Text fill-in field of the Explore dialog box, do not include them
within quotation marks.  Turn to pages 304-306 of the Explorer's
Guide for more information about search criteria modifiers.

A macro is a stored sequence of keystrokes.  With a macro you can
perform repetitive or complicated tasks by pressing a single key
combination, or remap the Magellan commands to different keys.

Use Macro (Alt-F7) to:
■  Run a Magellan macro.
■  Record your keystrokes for a new macro.
■  Write a macro "from scratch" by entering keystrokes and keywords.
■  Edit keystrokes in an existing macro.
There are two ways to create a Magellan macro:
■  Have Magellan record your keystrokes as you perform a task.
   When you record a macro, Magellan automatically translates
   your keystrokes into its own macro language.
■  Enter keystrokes directly into the Macro (Alt-F7) Setup dialog
   box using the special language of keywords.

A Magellan macro can branch to another macro or loop back to itself.
This way, you can have a macro that is longer than 255 characters.

For example, if the key combination to run a macro is {Alt1}, you can
loop within a macro by including the same keyword at the end of the
macro.  Press Ctrl-Break to stop a looping macro.

Any keystrokes that appear in a macro after it has branched to second
macro will be ignored unless the second macro is assigned to a
function key, Alt-function key, or Ctrl-function key and consists of
only one keyword.  Therefore, always put the call to another macro at

The explore rank is the percentage that appears to the left of a file
name in the List Window after a fuzzy search.  It indicates how
similar a file is to the search criteria relative to other files in
the index.

By default, Magellan does not display files with an explore rank less
than 20% following a fuzzy search.  In other words, the explore
threshold is set to 20% unless you change it.  You can change the
explore threshold using Options (Alt-F8) Preferences.

To start Magellan, you normally type MG at the operating system
prompt.  If you type more characters on the same line with MG, the
characters are referred to as arguments, and Magellan will read the
arguments and perform tasks automatically.  You can use command line
arguments to:

■  Start Magellan with the files you want shown in the List Window.
■  Start Magellan and issue one or more keystrokes automatically.
■  Start Magellan with expanded memory disabled (MG /NOEX).
■  Start Magellan with the maximum number of lines your monitor
   can display (MG /43 or MG /50).
■  Load or unload the terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) portion of
   Magellan (MG /TSR or MG /NOTSR).

When the command line argument is a character string, it is used as
the Explore Path when Magellan starts.  For example, to search your
Current Work explore file group for files that contain the word
"budget," type:
        MG current work concerning "budget"

To execute a series of keystrokes immediately after startup, type:
        MG /keys="keystrokes"
where "keystrokes" can be any series of keystrokes, including
keywords.  For example, to run your Alt-P macro at startup, type:
        MG /keys={AltP}

Or, to start Magellan in TREE mode displaying only files in the root
directory, type:
        MG C:\ /keys={Tree}

Viewers are program files in the MGVIEWER subdirectory of the
Magellan directory that have the extension .VW2.  Most viewers are
written specifically for files of a certain format (1-2-3 worksheets,
for example).  When you move to the View Window, the cursor-movement
keys operate more or less as they would if you were in the
application that created the current file (1-2-3, for example).

As long as a viewer is in the Magellan program directory when you
start Magellan, it will be invoked whenever it is needed to
properly display the current file.  If Magellan does not have a
specific viewer for a particular file format, it uses a generic
text viewer to display any alphanumeric characters contained in
the file.

You can control which viewer Magellan uses to display a file by
indicating your viewer preference using Options (Alt-F8) Viewer.

A binary file is a file containing information that is primarily
binary zeros and ones instead of alphanumeric characters.  Examples
of binary files are executable program files, graphics files, and
files that contain special formatting information.  Magellan can
index the alphanumeric characters in binary files, but because it is
unlikely that you will need to find information within such files,
you should usually exclude binary files when you create an index
setup.

Use the Filespec fill-in field in the Index (Alt-F5) Setup dialog box
to list files to be included in or excluded from a particular index.
Files with the following extensions are likely candidates to be
excluded from your index filespec:
   ACC    AGB    ARC    CMD    CMP    COM    DRV    DYN
   EXE    FIL    FNT    FON    HLP    ICO    IDX    LIB

A filespec is a definition for a group of files by path, file name,
extension, or a combination of these.  A filespec often includes
wildcards.

A filespec can consist of combinations of the above, separated by
spaces or commas, and can include minus signs (-) that indicate
exclusion of a particular group of files.

A dialog box is a rectangle Magellan displays whenever it needs to
provide information for you or to get information from you to carry
out your commands.  The help screen you are looking at now is an
example of a dialog box.

Dialog boxes can be nested.  That is, when you make a selection in
one dialog box, a second dialog box may appear to allow you to enter
specific details.  Usually, when you complete the secondary dialog
box, the primary dialog box is redisplayed.

You can create your own custom dialog boxes by typing specifications
in an ASCII file and entering special keywords as part of a macro.

ER■ E∩4MDirectories, Subdirectories
Directories and subdirectories are structured partitions of a disk.
You create directories to logically divide a single large disk into
subsets, and then subsets within subsets.  This allows you to
separate groups of files just as you might separate documents into
several file folders and place the folders in different drawers.

Many programs allow you to see a list of the files within a single
directory.  In Magellan you can define explore file groups that allow
you to see a list of files that spans many directories.

An index is a compact set of files that contain pointers to the
unique words in each indexed file.

In Magellan, you use Index (Alt-F5) to create an index for your files
so you can quickly search for files containing certain words and
phrases or variations of those words and phrases.

When you use Explore (F9) or Path (Alt-F9) and specify text as search
criteria, Magellan looks up the text in the index, and locates files
that contain that text or similar text.

A path is a description of the location of a file or files on a disk
drive.  In DOS, a path can include the drive name, one or more
subdirectories, and a file name or wildcard characters representing
several file names.  Here are some examples of valid paths:

Path:                      Meaning:

ASCII stands for "American Standard Code for Information
Interchange."  This is the standard format for exchanging information
among computer systems.

ASCII characters may be alphanumeric or graphic.  In contrast to
binary files, ASCII text files contain no formatting codes or other
special characters.

Files with the extensions .PRN, .BAT, and .TXT are usually ASCII text
files.

Wildcards are placeholders for missing characters in a drive name,
directory name, file name, or file name extension.  The basic
Magellan wildcards are as follows:
■  *  (Asterisk) stands for any number of characters.
■  ?  (Question mark) stands for exactly one character.
■  .  (Period) stands for the directory from which you started
      Magellan.
■  .. (Double period) stands for the directory one level above the
      current directory.

Wildcards eliminate the need to know and enter every file name when
specifying a group of files to explore using Path (Alt-F9) or Explore
(F9) Setup.

asterisks:
■  *: stands for all disk drives attached to your system that are not
   removable or remote; you can change this definition using Options
   (Alt-F8) Drive Settings.
■  \*\ stands for the directory preceding the \*\ and all of the
   subdirectories of that directory.

TSR stands for "terminate-and-stay-resident."  When you run a TSR
program, it stays in the memory of your computer even after you exit
the program.  Lotus Metro is an example of a TSR program.

To load the TSR portion of Magellan without starting the program,
issue the command: MG /TSR at the DOS prompt.  The TSR portion of
Magellan will keep track of changes you make to your files between
Magellan sessions and will speed start-up time after the first time
you run Magellan.

NOTE: Do not load TSR programs while you are accessing DOS
temporarily while running Magellan.  These can interfere with
Magellan restarting.

An explore file group is a list of files that you can refer to by
name in an Explore Path entry.

You can define up to 100 explore file groups that are meaningful to
you.  To define an explore file group, you give the group a name (for
example, "My worksheet files"), and enter specifications Magellan can
use to locate all such files.  The specifications can be based on
file name, extension, directory, drive, and/or the files' contents.

There are several ways to start Magellan quickly:
■  Customize the Explore (F9) dialog box by moving a smaller file
   group to the top so that Magellan doesn't have to load as many
   files at startup.  The first explore file group in the Explore
   dialog box is the default file group at startup.
■  Open the Explore (F9) Setup dialog box for the default startup
   file group and type {Tree} in the Auto macro fill-in field so
   that Magellan will enter TREE mode automatically at startup.
■  Type MGFAST instead of MG when you start Magellan.  The MGFAST
   batch file loads only the files in the root directory of the
   current drive and automatically switches Magellan to the drive
   level in TREE mode.
■  Load the TSR portion of Magellan by typing MG /TSR at the DOS
   prompt.  Magellan will keep track of the changes to your files
   between Magellan sessions and will therefore start up faster after
   the first time you run it.

Magellan does not display any files at startup.

First unload any memory-resident programs you are running, to
free more RAM for Magellan to display files.  Second, try
starting Magellan with only the files in the current directory
displayed.  To do this, issue the following command at the DOS
prompt:

MG .

Magellan may be able to start up with a smaller number of files
displayed, even with other software in RAM.  See "Memory
Considerations," p. 314 of the Explorer's Guide for more

Magellan encountered an error while scanning the disk.

You may have an unusual disk drive on which Magellan has difficulty
using its "fast scan."  To fix this, try to start Magellan by issuing
the MG . command.  Then open the Options (Alt-F8) Drive Settings
dialog box and enter the letter of the disk drive that Magellan had
trouble with in the DOS scan fill-in field.

If you cannot start Magellan because of this problem, reinstall
Magellan by issuing the command INSTALL /X where X is replaced by
normal hard disk drive letters only.  Do not index your files during
installation.  Start Magellan, open the Options (Alt-F8) Drive
Settings dialog box, and enter the letter of the disk drive that

Magellan does not normally search for commonly-used words like

There is an exact match marker next to a file that doesn't appear to
contain an exact match.

When you use a multi-word search criteria, Magellan searches for
the words and determines their proximity to each other.  If the
words are close enough to each other, though not quite together,
Magellan may consider this an exact match.  (Magellan also
considers the size of a file when making this determination.)  If
Magellan finds all the words in your search string, but they are
too far apart, it does not give that file an exact match marker.

When I launch a program, the keystrokes I entered in the Keystrokes
fill-in field are not executed.

Magellan will not pass the information from the Keystrokes fill-in
field to the launched program if you select the Run option.  You must
select Load if you want the keystrokes to be issued.

Also, the program you're launching may need more time to process the
launch sequence.  Add a {PauseN} keyword to the beginning of the
Keystrokes fill-in field entry so that Magellan will allow more time
after startup and before issuing other keystrokes.  For example,
{Pause20} will add a two-second pause to allow a start-up screen to
appear and disappear.

I have a new program that I want Magellan to launch, but there is no
launch option for it in the Launch (F7) dialog box.

There are two ways you can prepare Magellan to launch your new
program:
1.  If the program is one that Magellan recognizes (see Appendix C
    of the Explorer's Guide), use the Update option in the Launch
    (F7) dialog box to have Magellan add a launch option for it.
2.  If Magellan does not recognize the new program, you can create
    a launch option for it using the Launch (F7) New dialog box.

Magellan launches the same program no matter what file the cursor is
on when I press Launch (F7).

When you initiate a Launch (F7), Magellan looks through the options
in the Launch dialog box one by one until it finds one whose filespec
or viewer matches that of the current file.  Thus, for example, if
the Filespec fill-in field of the very first option in the Launch
dialog box reads *.*, Magellan will always select this launch option
and look no further.  You can use Move (Alt-F2) to rearrange the
options in the Launch dialog box so that those with more specific
filespecs are at the top.

During printing, some words are cut off in the middle and continue on
the next line.

Use Print (F4) Setup to change the entry in the Right margin fill-in
field to a larger number.  The right margin should be equal to or
greater than the number of characters in the longest line of the
file, without exceeding the maximum print width your printer can
handle.  If you are printing a worksheet, you should use Gather (F5)
to mark one section at a time and send it to the printer.

During printing, nothing happens and I have to reboot my computer.

You may have specified a port that does not have a printer attached
to it.  Verify to which port your printer is attached and enter its
name in the To fill-in field of the Print (F4) dialog box.

Some dialog box selections don't seem to stick.

If you press Right or Left to move the cursor to another column of a
dialog box, the option that the cursor was resting on before will
remain selected.  You may have inadvertently moved the cursor up or
down on one side of the dialog box to position it to make a change on
the other side.  It is better to:
■  Press Right or Left first.
■  Then press Up or Down.

Also, many options do not remain selected from one Magellan session
to the next.  See the Explorer's Guide for details about specific
options.

Files you create using Gather (F5) are always ASCII text files,
regardless of where the original data came from.

When I run one of my macros, I seem to get different results each
time.

Some macros are mode-dependent: they run differently depending on
which mode you are in when you first start the macro.  One way to get
a mode-dependent macro to work the same all the time is to add steps
to the beginning of the macro that would always put Magellan in the
same mode before executing the rest of the macro.

You can also use the {IsMain} keyword to make sure Magellan is in a
"top-level" mode (i.e., not in the middle of a command or dialog box
operation) before continuing a macro.

Use the REBOX.EXE program that comes with Lotus Express to clean up

I did the same fuzzy search twice but got different results.

You may have updated your index or used a different index for the
second fuzzy search.  When Magellan performs a fuzzy search it
selects files and assigns relative explore ranks based on the
contents of the current index.  The same file may receive a higher or
lower explore rank depending on what other files are included in the
current index.

Whenever a fuzzy search gives unexpected results, check to see which
index is current and make sure that index is up to date.

Magellan doesn't keep track of changes I make in other windows when I
use it with my multitasking program (such as DESQview).

If you load the TSR portion of Magellan before starting your
multitasking program and then open a window for Magellan and several
other windows for other applications, the window containing Magellan
will be able to reflect any changes you've made in other windows.
Issue the following command at the DOS prompt:
