One thing you can use to assist you is to check the date and time modified for 
a particular file.  This is done by pressing read with i while pointing to a 
particular file in the list.  If you have a bunch of similarly named files, 
check each one's time stamp, and you will know which one you just modified a 
minute ago.  Yes, it's still awkward and un-PC-like, but it may come in handy.  
And no, you're not alone in this, even we twenty-five-year-old spring chickens 
forget what the silly file name was from time to time.  <Smile>

It is a good thing that this degree of file handling can, in fact, take place 
from within Key Word. But don't let that blurr the fact that file management is 
still more awkward than it might be I am pleased to have been shown something I 
had not yet discovered. But I am still unable to get out of a file by the same 
path I got into it, and thereby be certain I am deleting that file. I still 
want the ability to actually open a file and massage it, then knowing I"m still 
on that file in the directory, deal with it immediately to either delete, save, 
move, or copy or do whatever else I might like to do to it. When I have to go 
back to the top menu and back down the line to the filename list, I run the 
risk of mis-remembering the filename specifics or hearing them wrong and 
deleting the wrong file because I cann't check as I delete.

For all of you sharp young folks whose memories and minds still are working at 
top speed and accuracy, this sounds like a load of wah flippin' wah, but for 
those of us who are leaning towards the aging process with greater familiarity 
every day, believe me it is a reality. With luck you too will reach this point.

One of the purposes of having the Voicenote is to assist my failing memory with 
things I once kept organized and at hand with total accuracy and  recall 
without any devices.
