Hmmm..   My Linux editor of choice is gedit and it does that too. It's a common 
UNIX procedure from long ago.  What has happened is that BBEdit has renamed the 
previous version with the trailing tilde. The replacement is given the name you 
expect.

It can save your ass.

It's pretty easy to execute a rm *~ in a BBEdit worksheet to toss out the old 
copies but in general that ought to be done only after a night's sleep or when 
you disk starts complaining about being full.
