DESCRIPTION

Selecting File and then New for a MIDI or Digital Video player opens 
the default Digital Audio device and loads a Wave audio file for 
recording.

RESOLUTION

This is working as designed. See the online help for additional 
information:

1. Select File from the menu bar.
2. Press F1.

The MMPM/2 media player (MPPM.EXE) was designed as a generic player for 
any device supported by MMPM/2. When File and then New are selected, 
the media player checks the current device to see if it uses files and 
can record. If it does and can, a new file is loaded to the opened 
device.

The default sequence for the media player is:

1. Find a digital audio device.
2. Find a Wave audio file.
3. Open the file.
4. Load the file for recording.

MIDI and Digital Video for MMPM/2 Version 1.1 do not support recording.
