I would assume the answer is "no", that a counter is being incremented by R:Base at CONNECT time and decrement when a correct DISCONNECT takes place. But I could be wrong, and R:Base could be consulting a counter maintained the operating system -- in that case the count would decrement when the machine was shut off. > Perhaps there is a way to delete only the files created by the user?

But even there you could clobber a second session running on the same workstation, or a session running on another machine logged in to the same account, so it wouldn't be foolproof. Ideally, files in use by any existing session of R:Base would be non-deleteable. That's how I _think_ it used to be, although I'm not certain. -- Larry
