Sorry about that, especially when it can be avoided.

Make the following line in your SETTINGS.DFL file and you will
automatically back up your work a minimum of every 2 minutes (If you are
not typing and every 5 minutes if you are typing.
;
; AOT is the autosave time in minutes
df aot=2,5
;
The Autosaved file, on my machine, is put in the F:\ZWC\XY4\DOCS\ directory
with the following line in my SETTINGS.DFL file.

;
; Autosave path
DF AOP=F:\ZWC\XY4\DOCS\
;

The file is saved in that directory as AUTOSAVn.TMP (where the "n" is a 1
to 10 sequence of Autosaves.

With the above setup, your most recent autosave, no more than 5 minutes
ago, is most likely AUTOSAV1.TMP.

This saves so much pain.
