Robert: Correct, it would be mostly cut/paste of code snippets to bring it all together. And it all occurs in the FM 'space', there's no cross-tab activity, which is always a royal pain.

This would only be a couple hour task. I'll try and squeeze it in while my mind is still in SPFLite mode after the last few days of bug stomping (and ALIGN command creation)

P.S. There is no SPFBackup folder

Robert:
RESTORE could be done OK, but I'm not exactly enthused about ABX and DBX, they seem just a bit 'out there' as to usefulness.

And as to block mode commands, extending this to a general "repeat the last character" is a significant piece of work. The whole FM environment is still an incredible kludge in almost every aspect of the code.

And remember, we're 'retired' now.

Jo,

Both BACKUP and RESTORE are coming, once Robert and I thrash out the details. I have Backup and Restore basically working, but we're tweaking it and have decided to integrate it with the AUTOBKUP support, which is ancient and actually pretty poor.
