   2.1. Initializing Motor Shared Memory
   
   The motor shared memory is created only if it doesn't exist (allowing
	you to quit and restart the IC, without re-initializing all the motors).

	It you are have motor shared memory issue, you may see
   all with motor icons will be replace with  the words:
      "XUI was unable to access motor information. Motor"
      "control and monitoring is disabled."
   Or if you just wish to delete/create  the shared memory, to this:

      type "die" in the XUI to kill the XUI and IC.
      In the smokey2 xterm, type:
         /home/smokey2/current/mt/mt_sm_init -f

   Then restart the IC and XUI.
