Note that when you save the file under a different name you do not have any good way of getting rid of the old copy. However, if you do not save under a different name, J will delete it if you are not careful. That moving between the temp and the user directory in the browse window involves several clicks and some visual searching makes this somewhat worse. Possible remedies include: (1) Move the temp directory inside the user directory. (2) In Save As, if the existing file is a blank file in the temp directory, delete it. (Alternatively, remember the numbered file in the temp directory and ask if it should be deleted (either right away or later when the window is closed).) -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
