Note:   
          The keyword file and the log file are only written to disk when
          an application command, e.g. LOAD/IMAGE is executed.
\\
          So, if your application (e.g. GUI) needs the most recent status of
          the keyword data base you must execute SYNCHRONIZE/MIDAS first to
          also update the keyword file on disk.
