**ImgDflt=<default image spec>**

If ImgDflt is specified and the image file corresponding to the image file specification in an image cell doesn't exist, then XTREE will use the default image instead.

Notes:

•	The ImgDflt feature is only activated when the original cell data specifies a discrete image file that does not exist.  In other words, if the cell contains an icon spec like nosuch::ashico1, the ImgDflt feature will not come into play.

•	The ImgDflt is not used if the corresponding cell data is empty.

•	You can reference the ImgDflt deliberately by putting "\*" in the cell. This is equivalent to a filespec that doesn't exist, except is cleaner and more efficient since it eliminates the need for a failed directory lookup.
