as the app file name. In this example, the description file is: COUNTER.TXT. The text below shows a
sample entry for the description file in a regular text format. The PIM will be searching for an HTML
formatted file (*.HTML) first. If not available, it will search for a regular text file (*.TXT) or an HTML
formatted file (*.HTML).
