i've had that problem with the dir on other versions, now i save a .dir on a share drive.. those along with my (stolen) was files. i've never lost one due to a system error, but have started with a perfect script, made a dozen changes and did a compile, of course it didn't compile but did a save to erase the original. strange how computors seem to mess up when they do exactly what you requested.
