Opening a MIDI File

Ok, I can open a MIDI file, that's easy, but how do I stop LE 8 from automatically opening the file and using audio instruments instead of using actual MIDI channels?

Macbook Pro 17" 2.33 (Late 06), Mac OS X (10.5)

Hi,

I looked it up in the manual.
Page 657 says:
"Note: As a default behavior, Logic Express will automatically create software instrument
tracks for each MIDI track, and assign an appropriate GarageBand instrument to each,
when you open a MIDI file. If you want to use external MIDI tracks for each MIDI track,
press Option while opening the MIDI file. "

Jaap
