Unless Mif2Go offers a solution, I don't know of one. In my experience, native
FM's Save As RTF function seems to just dump it out as if it were set to show
all conditions without indicators.
I hope someone can provide a better solution. :-)

Ben,
Why do you need a VB script? A simple batch file works fine.
Run a DOS window from the directory you want to clean up and then run
the
following batch file. Copy the text to Notepad and save it as
cleanfm.bat
Put the following into a file (named with extension .BAT):
@echo off
echo.
echo Deleting the following files from the current directory:
dir *.backup.* *.lck
echo.
del *.backup.* *.lck
and that will do the trick when you execute the batch program in a
DOS window or from the Run command line.

Thanks Rebecca. You beat me to it.
BTW, I have a small addition to the message I wrote. The DEL commmand has a
switch that recurses subdirectories. It did not have the switch when I wrote
the batch file. You no longer need the additional program called sweep.
Regards,
Diane
