Thanks for the reply. I am not sure I understand your explanation. When I quit BBedit from the BBedit menu, all of the windows are closed. However, when I then start BBedit again, all of the previously open documents appear on the left hand panel. When I use the red button on the upper left hand part of the BBedit window and reopen BBedit, none of the files that appeared in the left hand panel are shown.
Also, I am not sure what "Save as Project" does. I don't want a document that merges all of the files currently open in the window. I just want the left hand panel to show all of the files that were open before I closed the application. Is this what happens when I use "Save as Project"?
