deleting backup files

[John Sgammato]

I'm with Mike. 
I find the AutoSave feature brings me more tragedy than joy. I prefer to
develop a good, solid, old-fashioned work habit than to rely on that
feature.

The autosave feature scares me. I work out of a home office, and we have

roaming cats. If one walks across a keyboard, it can add or delete all
kinds 
of things in a document. Autosave will happily save the fouled up
version. 
If you're away from the keyboard, it's possible for autosave to run more

than once, overwriting even the .backup.fm file. I've made it a habit to
hit 
Ctrl-S regularly, instead.
