Interestingly  enough, I tried this about an hour, shortly before  reading
your  kind  suggestion (now). I decided that there ought to  be  something
among  the  widgets. When I found it, I set it to the maximal value  which
was  100.  I was ecstatic, but I then realised that all it does is  indeed
_backup_, just as it says on the tin.

It  retains a stack of files that vary (see below), but not only the  dif-
ferences.  What  I was hoping to have is something that is  equivalent  to
Palm  Desktop's archives where you can search for past (deleted) items. In
Linux  I  could  easily achieve that with fgrep, but with so  many  merely
identical files it seems impractical.
