One would expect that. But where were the backups coming from?

So I found the backup feature way down at the end of the File menu. For a 
worksheet specific selection I expected to find it in the worksheet's tool bar 
but that's another matter. Fonts and tab stops have the same disparity.

The box was NOT checked in File_BackupOptions when I got the peculiar backup 
files. It also points to the "nothing selected" radio button.

I just had a look at my personal backup script dated November 2002. It still 
works though I'm not very proud of the verbose AppleScript that I created from 
an MPW script that I still use. The feature is that the backup makes an history 
entry in the beginning of each worksheet as I do a backup so I always know 
where I stand. Ask if you're interested.

At one time I could use the same worksheets with MPW or with BBEdit but that 
feature has been "repaired". BBEdit worksheets are now in plist format. Damn.
