MIF File Import

[Rick Quatro]

I may have missed something in this thread, but if you are using
FrameScript, it makes the MIF snippet technique obsolete.

You're going to have to script it. A MIF file is a text representation
of a Frame file.

Instead of importing the MIF file you'll probably need to write a
script that will remove the formatting in the MIF file with your
content and replace the formatting as desired. Someone can probably
point you to a utility that will do this.

I've started to do something similar in FrameScript, not too easy.
