Interesting. I've been using VC++ 5.0 to edit root macro files (nice syntax coloring, etc.) and it does refuse to save a file after it has been opened by root. However, if I use notepad it works just fine. Odd; it was as if some sort of lock was established by root that wasn't really a write lock... or the two systems are writing invisible/temp files (I couldn't fine anything) that collide? Well, I'm using notepad now, but I would really like to be able to go back to VC++... :-) BTW, I see large numbers of root temp files in my temp directory; they are all numbered. Besides the observation that this seems to be an inefficient way of handling commands (wouldn't it be better if it remained in memory, never written to the disk?), do they ever get deleted by ROOT when root is done? It dosen't look like it... Cheers, Gordon.
