Thanks for the suggestion. There is a folder in /tmp that looks like what you described. But inside it are just half a dozen very small files, all with a time stamp that could not possibly have anything to do with the lost file. And yeah, I did try a Ctrl-z, and also looked at the Edit > Undo menu, but a file save is apparently not undoable. The file is lost. I do have a paper printout copy that I made yesterday, so it's not a total disaster. More importantly, Steven Cox knew what was wrong -- the checkbox for Always Make Backups was not checked. It is now, so this will not happen again. However, I know I never unchecked that box. That means that the installation utility leaves that box unchecked by default. That is very bad. I don't like the Windows way of holding the user's hand all the time, but something like this defnitely should be the default. Thanks to all for the suggestions and help. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
