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 or
whatever you want to call it. Save it to a directory in the path or add the
It's important to note that autosave does *not* perform the same
operation as the regular save. There is a separate autosave file that
FrameMaker manages, separate from the file that you opened (or that
you last saved).
Well, son of a gun. I learn something new everyday! I've been avoiding

I'm convinced that autosave and automatic backup are among the
most misunderstood features in FrameMaker, which is why I continue
to post messages explaining them. No need to go slinking off to the

One of the essential FrameMaker procedures that every unique
FrameMaker user should learn is to save all files *before* doing
anything that might need to be undone; even with the addition of Undo
in FrameMaker 7.2, Undo is limited.
Further guidelines:
* When making global changes to files in a
I don't believe that FrameMaker 7.2 supports this format, but you will be able
to do this with the next release of FrameMaker, to be released soon. The
announcement of FrameMaker 8 (posted Monday) mentions the ability to import
animations created with Captivate.

Thanks for the good info Fred. I'm filing this in my FM tips folder.
Sure wish I had known this yesterday. I did an Esc-s-p-d on the wrong page

You don't need the .backup to back out of an unwanted editing
change because right there in the File menu is the "Revert to last
saved" command, wich does exactly what it says and does not rely
on the the .backup file created by the "automatic backup" mode.
I can see where a global find and
