Oh, By, Am I naive or what?
For us naive types could somebody, Please,
in a relatively simple way, explain what a
"dirty button/flag" is?
When a document needs to be saved, this is referred to as being
"dirty". Since this is a true/false setting, it is often called a
flag.
In Macs, if you look at a document in say, Text Edit, if it needs
saving, the close close blob in the title bar will have a dark centre,
so this is a "dirty button".
Cheers,
Sarah

Thanks for a nice, clear explanation. I cannot help wondering
why the word 'dirty' is used in these cases; surely 'unsaved' is
much easier to understand (especially for folk like me!)
Gosh, I'm even goofier than I thought I was; always wondered
about those blobs!
Mind you I normally remember when things need saving
(about every 2 minutes) without any blobs.
