84.11.2 Import Ticker File Folder

The import function allows you to import all ticker files in the same folder and open file content in the News Ticker edit box, replacing the previous files.  This function does not support file level import, you need to place the files in a folder and select the folder to import the ticker files.
The following rules applied when using the import function:
•The import function is not available when no file in opened in the News Ticker edit box.
•If there are 4 files already opened in the edit box and you import a folder containing 6 files, only 4 files would be imported into the edit box, replacing the existing 4 files. (Example #1)
•If there are 6 files already opened in the edit box and you import a folder containing 4 files, all 4 files would be imported into the edit box replacing the existing 4 files, the other 2 files initially opened would remain in the News Ticker edit box. (Example #2)
In following examples, we import ticker files in My Documents folder (6 files) and Public Documents folder (4 files).
