+For some media, you may need multiple commands.  If so, it is recommended
+that you use a shell script instead of putting them all into the Mount
+Command.  For example, instead of this:

+\begin{verbatim}
+  Mount Command = "/usr/local/bin/mymount"
+\end{verbatim}
+\normalsize

+Similar consideration should be given to all other Command parameters.
