Jordan:

Hmmm, I never really considered what happens when you run DELTAGS on
a series of files. Well, here's what happens: DELTAGS deletes the
TMP file on disk with each new run. But, more than that, if
DELTAGS.TMP is displayed in a window from a previous run, it ABorts
that screen as well. So -- as you found out the hard way -- if you
run the routine on several files in a row, you WILL lose work unless
you save DELTAGS.TMP under a different name each time before moving
on to the next file. That, I'll grant you, is pretty draconian.
Better revisit that "feature".

Here's my thought: Why don't I jettison the .TMP file altogether,
and just display output in an Untitled screen? When you run DELTAGS
the next time, it opens another Untitled screen, and so on. Output
is never lost, because no .TMP file is DELeted or ABorted. Plus,
with an Untitled screen you're forced to supply a name if you want
to save the results to disk. (You can always issue AF to
name and SAve it automatically.) Output is never wiped from the
screen unless you ABort it manually. Seems to me that's pretty good
protection.

The revision below implements that. Try it for a while and see if
it feels more secure. I'm open to suggestions. And thanks, Jordan,
for pointing this issue out. Sorry you were inconvenienced.
