NOTE
Assigning Fixtures from Floppy Disk
When a fixture type is loaded from floppy
disk and assigned to a fixture, it is stored
temporarily on the desk and added to the
fixture list.
When a Clear to Default operation is
performed only the 20 common fixtures are
kept on the desk, any loaded from floppy disk
are cleared.
