- As a previous poster suggested, it sounds as though the autosave option
- has been set. May I suggest however that instead of using the default
- system editor, you try the enhanced editor? Set the editor as "EPM.EXE",
- the parameters as "/w %a %z", and check the "Send compile errors" box.
- The editor is a lot more powerful, and is WorkFrame enabled (meaning it
- can communicate with WorkFrame, and highlight any compiler errors). -tim
