I just looked through the Preferences and Mandrake does not enable autosave
by default. I did an updatedb and tried to locate an Untitled1.bak (or
Untitled or bak) file, no luck.

Thanks for the kind words but it's not your fault, it's my own hubris in
Linux, thinking that regularly saving my work wasn't really necessary because
that's a Windows behaviour and I'm above that now. :-)) yeah right. At the
same time, I had a chess database open in Windows 98 SE (under VMWare) and
have all the safety features turned on and was saving the data with religious
regularity. As is said, pride goes before a fall. Ouch. :-)
Although a blasted nuisance, a lesson from the School of Hard Knocks is
well learned. I now have good judgement. Good judgement comes from
experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.
Cheers,
Rob
