"... , I still haven't found a good plain-old SAVE solution for working with TW files on my desktop ..."
Hi. Have you tried "Timimi" ? It works like a charm for me. It allows to save the TW file and silently manages the backups (in a folder in your computer) so you don't have more than a specified number of backup files of a TW file (in my case it's five) at any given time. https://ibnishak.github.io/Timimi/ On Wednesday, November 18, 2020 at 9:25:44 AM UTC+9 springer wrote: > Alfonso, Aha, the empty one does loads, so that's progress....
