- Panel Configuration:
  - We've already seen the panel a few times and have worked with controls, but we've never configured it for use with `PLOT` and `LIST`.
  - The primary parts of a panel are the Controls Section and the Panes.

  - There are two other parts to a panel: HLine and VLine. These are the movable dividers between the panes.
  - The boundaries of a pane are defined by the HLines and VLines that surround it.
- Panel Configuration Files:
  - The configuration information for a panel is usually saved in a `.mmp` file.
  - The `.mmp` file is a plain-text that can be edited by hand... this is rarely necessary.
  - It is possible to set the configuration using a table. (See the `PANEL` explain file for details.)

X-Midas Users Take Note:
X-Midas uses `.set` files to save the layout information. The `.mmp` files used by NeXtMidas are hand-editable ASCII files while the `.set` files used by X-Midas are binary.
