Watch this one because it could save you some grief. My understanding of a
"Save All" command is that only files that have actually changed will be
saved. This ain't so in MS HTML Help Workshop version 1.21.

As it is possible to open quite easily (just with one double mouse click) in
HTML Help Workshop a file that is already open for editing somewhere else,
the Save All and Compile command will happily overwrite your
already-saved-from-somewhere-else file with the window that happens to be
open in HHW, even if you haven't changed the file in HHW.

I suspect when you open your project again it re-opens the windows you had
open last time, thus it is very easy to accidentally wipe out a lot of
editing. This has bugged me for some time because I couldn't work out why
HHW had to write to my file (the file date showed that it was changed at the
time of compilation, making it seem as though HHW had decided to chop a
chunk out of it).
