If you had a utility like Complete Undelete and wandered through your deleted files now and then, you'd have seen this ages ago. You're using White Knight (or possibly Red Ryder), which creates files named Trash This and Junk Me for its own personal use. Under normal circumstances, these files are automagically trashed by the program. Don't worry about it. (Trash This files are created, for one, when you select text in the scrollback buffer and choose "Copy, then paste" from the Edit menu. White Knight copies the text to a text file, then "Sends text file" using the parameters chosen in your "Customize-->Options-->TEXT transfer" dialog box. Scott somewhat documents this in the manual.) --Adam-- -- Adam Frix via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!200.2!Adam.Frix INET: Adam.Frix@p2.f200.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG
