Changing files in Magdir

Thank you for your help.

I am still a bit confused though. If I delete sgml (one of the files in
Magdir), I can't compile 'file'. However, if I just empty the file, I can
compile and run without any problems,and the types that are handled by
sgml are still handled correctly.

Any idea what's going on?

David
