Larry: This would explain some problem my users have been having when someone else logged out early. Normally they all log in and log out at roughly the same time so it has not been a huge issue yet. I could put code on the logout routine to check whether there are other user logged in and if yes it would not delete the *$$$ files, in other words the last user to log out would delete all the temporary files...

Although I set the scratch directory to the user's temp directory, I still accumulate a lot of $$$ files in the startup directory in multi-user situations. To protect against this, I have always included an ERASE *.$$$ in command files (since R:Base never erases the open files from the current session). Recently (with 7.1), I've noticed a couple of occurences in which I've been able to clobber _another user's_ R:Base session by erasing all the $$$ files in the startup directory. In other words, files which R:Base used to not erase are now eraseable from a different R:Base session. Has anyone else noticed a similar change? How do people deal with the danger of clobbering another session by erasing a temp file? -- Larry
