Bernie, David, When I first read David's reply I thought " oh yes, that makes sense" but on second thoughts I wonder why it should make sense.
Surely QUIT to any file intentionally "forgets" anything that was going on? If so, then the file that is subsequently started should be irrelevant. That said, I think that where I have any cycle of QUITs it is always to a different file...
