Thanks. I've used Goback several times, and while it does the job, it is a tad
clunky to use. When it finishes doing what it does, it always restarts the
computer (expectable) and then that message appears "you didn't shut down
properly, nyah nyah nyah" comes up and you must scan your disk 'ere you can
proceed to the opening musical chord.

Goback, however, will get back a prior version of a resaved file. Does
CONFIGSAFE do that?

"It" meaning GOBACK or CONFIGSAFE?

Now that is usual!

Thanks again!
