To Create an Action File (Action Icon)

    Create an executable file with the same name as the action name. The content of the file does not matter.

For example, if the action definition is:

ACTION  MyFavoriteApp
 {
 	EXEC_STRING				Mfa -file %Arg_1%
 	DESCRIPTION				Runs MyFavoriteApp
 	ICON						Mfapp
 }

then the action file would be an executable file named MyFavoriteApp. In File Manager and Application Manager, the MyFavoriteApp file would use the icon image Mfapp.size.type. Double-clicking MyFavoriteApp's icon would run the action's execution string, and the icon's On Item help would be the contents of the DESCRIPTION field (“runs MyFavoriteApp”).
