I'd also edited the machine INI file which I knew would be overwritten, so had made a copy of this. I did get a warning, but thought it was about the INI file. A backup file has been created, but I've run StepConfig several times, so my custom_postgui.hal file is long gone.
The name 'custom' is what confused me, as the Custom.hal file is not overwritten. I'm using the latest version of LinuxCNC. (Not near machine at present so can't quote the number) I'll create a new file next time and load this in the INI file, so I only have one file to maintain.
